When I was in secondary school,

00:00:02.669 --> 00:00:04.437
no one seemed to be able to get my name
right,

00:00:04.437 --> 00:00:06.639
no matter how many times
I told them.

00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:07.507
My name is Iomade.

00:00:07.507 --> 00:00:09.042
And even the teachers used to say,

00:00:09.042 --> 00:00:11.611
can you give me a different name
or a nickname

00:00:11.611 --> 00:00:13.480
that will make it easier
for me to pronounce.

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.348
But why should I have to change my name

00:00:15.348 --> 00:00:17.517
for someone else
to make it easier for them?

00:00:17.517 --> 00:00:22.022
Why can't they just
take the time and learn it?
