  5. Fidel Ramirez was born in 1935 in a small town in the State of Mexico, Nicolas Romero. Her father was a worker in a textile factory and her mother a housewife. He had four brothers and he was the oldest one. When he was a child his mother abandoned them and he became the housekeeper. Because of that, it was impossible to him to study. In their thirties, he built its own family and he started working in a book factory, where some books are given to him every month as a gift, so he built a little library at home. In his free time, he read all those books, so he learnt to speak English by his own. The book factory where he worked promoted him and he became into a translator. Fidel retired in 1990, in order or the enormous free time he had, he decided to start a little business and with help of his books at home he learnt how to create paint at home, so he built a small laboratory and he started selling paint. Nevertheless his difficult childhood, he never stopped learning. Besides the English and the paint, he was a mathematics lover, so when he became a grandfather he helped his grandchildren (just like me) in maths topics. He passed away in 2008. It was a wonderful grandfather to me, thanks to him I figured out that I love maths, that’s one of the reason I decided to study my bachelor degree in Economics.

  10. My father, Leopoldo Arce was born in 1970 in the State of Mexico. His parents weren´t have a lot of money, so my father´s childhood was hard and he had to work early in his life. My father is well-know because is a good person, very kind, patient, generous, and the best centre forward of Mexico.
    When Leopoldo and I playing football, his typical phrase is “chiquito, chiquito”, he said that when he want to get the ball passed to him. My mother always says “you´re like a child” because sometimes he is a bit distracted.
    Nowadays, he don´t have sense of taste because he had COVID-19 but I think that my father is a strong person and he is going to be okey. I admire him.
