INTERVIEW

I enjoy talking to new people, so when Ms. Croker told the class about interviewing one of our classmates I knew it would be a fun activity. We were assigned a number and we had to look for our partners. My partners name was Anthony Oliveras, I then began my interview. He shared with me that he was born in Bakersfield but he didn’t like it due to the weather and mean people. He grew up in Oxnard and graduated in 2003. He enjoys traveling and has been to eight countries.  He is currently employed with the Boys and Girls Club as a program coordinator, but is going to school to get his degree in business.  What motivates Anthony to attend college is the idea of a better life.  He currently has a very busy schedule he works between 6 to 7 hours per day Monday thru Friday and is a full time student. His weekends are dedicated to himself. Three words that describe Anthony are dedicated, hard worker, and motivated. In 10 years he sees himself achieving his master degree in a business, administration or accounting. His motivation to continue with his education is by finishing school now, because time continues no matter what so he wants to get his degree sooner than later.  What he likes about Oxnard College is that is really close to the beach, and his dislikes is that is really hard to find parking. He believes that culture does not influence his decision in attending college. He has been thru some big surprises thru his college years. One of his experiences was that a couple years ago he took a couple business classes and stopped for a year and half, and when he went back to school he found out the classes that he had taken were no longer accredited, and had to re-take them.  I really enjoyed the activity that was given to us and really enjoyed making a new friend.
