Interview

My first interview was with Ana Gonzalez. Her personality was awesome; she seemed like she has a good sense of humor and is confident. She is 22 years old and grew up in Oxnard with both of her parents as well as two brothers and three sisters. Currently, she has two kids, one of them is two and the other one is 6. Ana has been married for 7 years and is pregnant with her third child. Motivation to her is what she values most, as she says “I want to better myself and achieve my goals for my family”. Her daily schedule is busy; she drops off her kids at school, goes to school, picks kids up, goes home, makes dinner, put kids to sleep and then does her own thing. She balances her days by being patient and taking one day at a time. Ana hasn’t had a role model in her life but she says that she’s a role model to her kids. She shows her kids how to be kind to others, be respectful and devotes her time to her kids and family.

Three words that she described herself are caring, patient and hardworking. She is caring because she’s always there for her family and friends. Being patient comes easy to her since she has two kids. She is also a hard worker for she goes to school while being an amazing mother to her children. In ten years, she sees herself buying a home and graduating from a University. Her motto that gets her through the day is “Just one more day”. It helps her move on and face any challenges in life. Oxnard College has been a good experience for her. She likes it because you can meet new people while getting out and getting educated. The area’s that she thinks needs to be improved are parking. Her culture has influenced her to come to college because no one in her family has ever graduated from a college. It makes her want to work harder and aim for success.
