Hello my name is Maricruz Magana I was born and raised in Puruandiro Michoacán Mexico. I lived in Mexico tell I was 6 years old I didn’t really liked going to school in the teachers in Mexico where very abusive and I was very intimated by them. Not long after I started school in Mexico my parents made the decisions to bring me my two sisters and my brother to the United States. I didn’t like it at all at first the language was a real problem for me but stuck through it. I still have a hard time here and there but I try to stick with it. I’ve been going to school ever since and I want to make something of myself for me and for my parents.




Right now I’m a full time student I attend both Oxnard and Ventura College. I play soccer for Oxnard College and I really enjoy it this will be my second year playing and am really excited for the season to start. We have a lot of talented girls coming in as freshmen that I know will help us do a lot better than last year. My coach also made me captain this year which made me really happy and excited for all the things that come with that responsibility. In my personal life my older sister just got married this past weekend which made me really happy for her and I know will being a lot of changes for my life hopefully good ones. Right now I have a lot of family staying with us from Mexico and I love coming home to awesome food from my grandma and aunts that can cook up a storm of delicious food.



In my immediate future I want to play a really good soccer season and do good in school so hopefully I can get excepted to Saint Marcos University were I’m really excited to play soccer for. I also have a two trips to Mexico planed the first is in December I want to go visit my home town I haven’t been there in about five years and I really want to go visit. The other one is in March and it will be to Cancun I’m planning on going with my friends for spring break and really excited about it. Later in my life I do see myself living in a really nice house and having children and having made something of myself.
