name
When I first met my wife, the first question she asked was how to pronounce my name. Easy question, right?! It took me a few moments to figure out the answer to that question. Until that moment, I hadn’t realized that, growing bilingual, my name had been pronounced two different ways all my life! Now, I hear different versions of my name: Spanish version, Asian version, different versions in different English dialects,…
It seems that my name has its own existence now. What was supposed to form my identity, has developed one of its own! It is no more mine!
