It took a while to get used to my new names, I wondered

if I shouldn't correct my teachers and new friends. But
my mother argued that it didn't matter. "You know what
your friend Shakespeare said, 'A rose by any other name
would smellas sweet." My family had gotten into the
habit of calling any famous author "my friend" because I
had begun to write poems and stories in English class.
-"Names/Nombres."

Answer:

Her family encourages her not to.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her mother specifically tells her that it doesn't matter and references a quote by William Shakespeare to emphasize that names are not as important as the person's essence or qualities.

Julia's family's encouragement and the philosophical perspective conveyed through the quote play a significant role in her decision not to correct her teachers.
