Different identities like superheroes

 Ever since I was born, I had what some would call superhero identities. My first years of preschool, I didn’t care what the teacher called me because I was too young to realize that my name was being mispronounced but around second grade, it started to affect me. My name is supposed to be pronounced Aswin - us/win which is different from how it’s spelled. But I don’t know what the right way to pronounce it is anymore. My name has been pronounced so many different ways that I forgot what the right way is. My first grade Indian math teacher, with her really thick accent pronounced it as us/win, my 4th grade Indian-Australian teacher pronounced it as Azz/win, I have no idea where she got Z from, after I moved to the states, my PE teacher pronounced it as Ush/wins, he added a S to my name, but the most common pronunciation was Ash/win which is I am now used too. When lived in India, when someone asked my name, I would pronounce it as us/win but in the states I pronounce it Ash/win, even to my parents. But what’s really annoying is when someone asks me for my name without looking at it on paper. It takes me some time to make them pronounce it the right way and after a couple trail and errors they pronounce it the way but the next day, they pronounce it wrong again. So the solution to this was giving myself a nickname, I split my name As-win and added a H to the first half, and now I was Ash. This was an American name, a name everyone would by similar of since it was the main characters name in the Pokémon series. Every time some asked my name, I’d just say Ash because it felt so much more easier and it was. Thus I three identities, in school I’m Ash/win, at home I’m Us/win and everywhere else I’m Ash. I guess this is my superhero identity.
