Being artistic paid off in art school, but it didn't help me do well in high school, where I usually doodled and dissociated—especially in Spanish class. I joke that the spirit of Lapu-Lapu was protecting me from being recolonized. In class—which was taught in English—I was given a Spanish first name (Josué) to replace my Biblical birth name, which conveniently matched my Spanish surname "given" to my ancestors. So, I was taught the language of one colonizer (Spain) via the language of another (USA).
