What's in a name?

I remember when I was a kid I always wanted some accent on my name so that it was like the rest of the Mexican people I knew. So I remember I asked my mom if my name had any accent marks in it, to make it look more Mexican…she said yes there was, it was on the "a" of my last name. But she said there is no need to put it because it is understood. I remember I tried using it for awhile and my teachers always told me why did I put the accent mark, and that it wasn’t necessary, since then I took it off. (The reason I remembered this is because I am reading a book by Rigoberto Gonzalez [accent on the "a"], called Butterfly Boy.)

Funny and well random some of the things I remember...
