My interview with Jessica Garcia

The person that I interviewed was Jessica Garcia. She was born in Santa Barbara, California. At the age of nine, she had moved to Fresno with her parents.  A couple years later her parents had divorced when she was 14. She decided to move back with her father. When she had turned 16, she was living on her own and dropped school as well. Jessica's motivation to attend college is to study to become a dental hygienist and to support her son. She goes to school Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, she spends her time doing homework, and on the weekends she spends her time with her son. She balances all three family, work, and school. Her mother helps her out watching her son. When Jessica goes to school, her son also goes to school at the child development at Oxnard College for convenience. Jessica described herself as hard, closed off, and bitter. In about five years, she sees herself working full time as a dental hygientist and paying off her bills. Her motto for succeeding school is"nothing worth having ever comes easy." A couple things that she likes about Oxnard College is their programs, such as EOPS, CAL, and being able to talk to the counselors. She believes that the college could improve is with the financial aid office and the student business center. Throughout her college experience, the biggest surprise that has come her way was how smart she really can be.
