My mom is almost 60, two years ago told me that she wanted to study a new career. At first I didn't understand why, I always believed that when you get old the thing you want the most is to rest, so I did not give it importance and continue with my day a day.
The time was passing and I noticed that she lost her initial excitement and stopped looking for a school where she can start her studies. When I asked her why, she told me "Nobody believe I can do it, everyone think is stupid", that broke my hearth; the next months I tried to encourage her and have several discussions with my family about the importance of supporting her. Nowadays she is halfway to becoming a Psychologist.
That experience teach me a lot of things; doesn't matter your age you can do anything you think is worth doing. So when someone asked me, for my opinion about people above 65 learning something I usually said "why not?, I think is a very brave thing to do, be true to yourself and learn what you want to learn"

When I lived in Mexico City I didn't get when people talk about diversity at all; I have to admit that even though México is a really beautiful country it lacks in terms of knowing all the diversity we are part of.
I'm not saying there isn't diversity, because we have a huge variety of regional festivities, fabulous landscapes and awesome food that varies between regions and states, what I'm trying to say is that we aren't conscious about the enrichment we have around us.
That's why, I believe it is a lot of our culture that we have been losing over the years, one example is our dialects.
Do you know that Mexico has over than 60 different pre-hispanic dialects? but according with the statistics, less than the 9% of the population speaks one. Not to mention that is almost imposible to find a place where to learn it.
Right now, that I moved from my country of origin, I understand that the diversity is not only talking about immigrants, different countries or cultural shocks. There is diversity anywhere you are, and have to open your eyes to appreciate it.

I'm not sure why my parents called me Elisa and what's the meaning of my first name however I'm always been proud of my last name. Chimal is a Nahualt word (ancient Mexican dialect) that means "shield", is supposed that in the prehispanic age many mountains around cities used this word at the beginning of their names because they where the protectors of the people. Mountains used to protect them, against natural disasters as hurricanes and floods, or from surprise attack on war time.
Right know, my last name is not common even for Mexicans, and nowadays not many people speaks Nahualt but is a good reminder of our roots, there are a couple of prehispanic last names out there and my family and I, believe is important to keep the tradition and remember the meaning of them.
