I am changing my name this summer. I start college in the fall and think it is a good time for it. My first name does not fit me and I have never liked it. My new first name will be [name]Isaac[/name], currently my middle name. [name]Yitzhak[/name] is also my Hebrew name. My surname is long and [name]German[/name].
For my middle name I want something related to space. I have always been fascinated with space and wanted to be an astronaut when I was little. Because my health will prevent me from ever being an astronaut, I am going into astronautic engineering instead.
