My letter
The sixth letter of the Greek alphabet that represents the number 7. So, 6+7 = 13 which was my athletic number in high school and my favorite number (I always get excited when I see a 13th floor in hotels). Z, the symbol for Zeta, is the final letter in the English alphabet which represents finality. Z is pronounced Zee in US English, Zed in UK English and Zetto in Japanese Anime.
