Interviewing Maricruz Magana

Interview of Maricruz

I had the pleasure of interviewing Maricruz Magana. Maricruz went to Santa Paula High School. She said she loved her senior year in high school, especially because she played soccer and got to be captain of the varsity team. She graduated in 2009.Maricruz explained that she has been playing soccer almost all her life. She started at the age of 9 in a team in Santa Paula; were she has been living most of her life. At the beginning she wasn’t so good, but she never gave up and kept playing until she started getting better and better.

             Maricruz is now 19 years old and attends Oxnard College. She still lives in Santa Paula which makes it harder for her because she has to drive all the way to Oxnard but that is not holding her back from going to Oxnard college. Maicruz is studying to major in Sociology. She also plays soccer at OC. She said that one of the main reason why she plays soccer for Oxnard College is because she loves all the girls on the team. They are really friendly and nice. She juggles her time between school, soccer and she also has a job! Maricruz works at Summer Camp in Santa Paula. She said it was very hard at first, but she got use to it now.

             

In the future Maricruz hopes to graduate from OC and transfer on to a four-year university. She said that she wants to play soccer for whatever university she transfers too. After that she wants to find a home and hopefully by then get married and form a family. She also said that she wants to be coaching a little girl’s soccer team.
