This specific short story caught my attention because It was relatable to me. I also grew up dealing with people having issues pronouncing my name.

I was also named after a grandparent that lived a rough life and I find myself comparing myself to them being grateful that my story is different. Just like the narrator I spent a lot of time thinking about names I&#8217;d change to if I was brave enough. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Vignette I was puzzled by was \u201cThe First Job\u201d.This story kind of ended abruptly and I feel like there should have been more details on what happened after the strange moment of Esperanza being forcefully kissed by an older man.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vignette that surprised me was \u201cOur Good Day\u201d.
