Interview

Stephany Lopez a medium height, brownish hair and cute smile girl. Describes herself as impaciant, nice and hardheaded. Stephany graduated high school and right after started working at FedEx. After sometime at the job she realized  that was not a job for her. It was a job more likely for guys. So she went back to school and got her Medical Assistant diploma. She worked as a Medical Assistant for one year and a half. And now she's back at Oxnard College to become a nurse. Her biggest motivation is getting a better future for herself and later on for her children. Stephany is the first one in her family to attend College. Therefore, she’s a role model to her younger sisters because she’s the oldest. Her culture also influence her to dream big. Because in the Hispanic culture most females don’t attend college. They just drop out, give up or they just simply get marry. The days for Stephany are really busy she works from nine in the morning until six in the afternoon. So she attends school in the nights. Monday thru Thursday she gets out of work and rushes to college because her class starts at 7p.m. There’s an exception on Wednesday she gets out of work at 5:30 because her English class starts at 6p.m. Due to her busy week she hardly sees or spends time with her family during the week. That leads her to see her family only on the weekends. Her opinion about college is that is not as hard as people pictured it. Stephany says “if you do homework, put effort, and not give up college is easy."
