The History of "Sequoia"

My mom chose my name a few days before giving birth. She had a hard time deciding what to name me and one day picked up an encyclopedia which she still has this very day. She scanned through the book and stopped at the name Sequoia deciding that it was a unique and beautiful name. She looked at the definition below which gave her the definition of a tree which mostly grew in California. It was also described beautiful. She then started debating on the two choices of my middle name. It was either “Lyn” (which was her middle name but with one “n”) or a new middle name. She tried looking for a new middle name but nothing came to mind so, she stuck with “Lyn”. So that is how I became known as “Sequoia Lyn Conner” today.
