My name is Anghelo Josh Gangano. My parents gave me a Western middle name as a tribute to one of my white American grandfathers. Both my mother and father grew up as orphans from their respective countries, South Korea and the Philippines, and were adopted by American families as children. My entire life I have been told, “Your middle name doesn’t match,” and I used to be ashamed of it. I even used to wish I had a more Western first name to fit in. I have served many roles at UF over the past several years: an organic chemistry teaching assistant, a graduate student senator, the club tennis treasurer and a Graduate Assistants United officer, but first and foremost, I am Asian American. I can choose my profession and my politics, but I will never be able to choose my ethnicity.
