First Day We Met/El Primer Dia Que Nos Conocimos

We met during a Resident Advisor training session that was about identity. When we reached the question about our ethnicity, Roberto had circled "Hispanic". I was in disbelief as he is white appearing and I asked him if that was true. He answered me in Spanish and from then on would only communicate with me in Spanish to maybe impress me. My fellow colleagues would poke fun at me with how he would greet me, "Holaa Krristaal." And, without either of us realizing it, is how our journey started. Nos concocimos durante un entrenamiento de Resident Advisors que trataba sobre la identidad. Cuando llegamos a la pregunta sobre nuestra etnicidad, Roberto había seleccionado "Hispanic". No le creí porque es güero, y le pregunté si eso era cierto. Me respondió en español y, desde ese m omento, comenzó a comunicarse conmigo únicamente en espanol, quizás para impresionarme. Mis compañeros se burlaban un poco de mi por la forma en que me saludaba: "Holaa Krristaal". Y sin sabelo, así comenzó nuestra historia.
