See, what I never told pretty much anyone is that when I was younger I actually hated my last name, Kosmowski was my fathers name and he was a drunk, almost-illiterate man who was never there for his children and that never did an unselfish thing in his life. He left my family around when I was six or seven. For years I would put my moms last name on projects and papers instead of my own and would always plead with my mom to consent to changing it because I wanted nothing to do with my father. That was until forth and fifth grade, when one of the best teachers in my elementary school that I actually never had the chance to have became the first person to call me Kosmo and the degree to which it has stuck has nothing less then amazed me. Its to the point where the only people who call me Anthony are my mother, my bosses, and people that I havent gotten to know as well yet. Now, I couldnt imagine even attempting to change my last name, because its what gave me my identity. Its become a symbol to me that I cant run away from where I came from, but that I dont have to become it. That I am not, nor never will be my father. I dont want to brag but I feel like Ive accomplished a lot in my short time on Earth so far, and that Im nowhere close to being done yet. That Ive been a good person and made people experience life even just a little bit better.
