The Other Sophia was an excpetional memoir that was written from the point of view of a girl named Sophia. Sophia having a common name means that there are many others in Sophia in her grade. She writes about always feeling inferior to the other Sophia and being known as the nerdy and unpopular one. 

   I have an uncommon name so reading this memoir allowed me to see things from a perspetive of a comomonly named person. Sophia wrote, "You were the Sophia I wish I was." This line inspired me and let me appreciate my name even though sometimes I wished it was more common.
