Benjamin Alire Sáenz: Hello. My name is Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Actually, my name is Benjamín Alire Sáenz, but Benjamín and Benjamin are spelled the same way, except for in Spanish, it would have an accent over the I. But I really prefer the name Benjamin in English, because every time I was in trouble when I was a kid, they would call me Benjamín. So, I was like, "Oo, that means I'm in trouble." So now I just use the name Benjamin.
