All These Names!

Was it Miguel who I talk to about the car? Oh, I think it might be Sara.  Maybe it's John? And who do I ask about finances, Mark? I can never remember these things!

Ok... our neighbor's name is Jamell, right? No, he's the teacher.  Eileen is our neighbor...I think.  Maybe it's Laurie? Or was it Monica? Ahhhhh!

We've all been in this situation. You start a new job, a new school year, or move to a new location and you are struggling to remember names of the many people you have met. Remembering names can be very challenging.

Some people remember the names of people by associating an adjective with the person's name such as "talkative Ted" or "short Susan." The adjective may describe a person's physical appearance or their personality.

Together as a community, brainstorm ways to help one another remember the names of the many individuals you will meet during your term of service.
