Julieta Banuelos Character Traits

I interviewed Ashley Porras, a Licensed Vocational Nurse at Sharp Rees Stealy. She gave me background information of how she got into the healthcare system, great advice and what she does on a daily basis. The reason I chose Ashley as the person to interview was because I got the chance to spend the day with her at work and I loved it. I found it interesting what she did and got the opportunity to learn more about her, her occupation and where she see’s herself in the future. Someday, I would be an LVN and gradually get higher in the healthcare field like she is doing now.

Selena Quintanilla was born on April 16, 1971, in Lake Jackson and then moved to Corpus Christi, Texas. Selena was also considered as the "Queen of Tejano," a type of Hispanic culture; she was also fashion designer and actress. Selena was also sometimes referred as the Mexican Madonna for her sexy outfits (like bustier) and dance moves. Selena began performing as a child at her parent’s family restaurant. Around the age of 10, Selena became the lead singer in her family's band, Selena Y Los Dinos. The musical group started out playing weddings and clubs in their hometown. The band featured her brother Abraham playing bass guitar and her Sister Suzette playing on the drums. Her father, Abraham, a former musician, managed and produced the group.

Selena Quintanilla “We never thought we’d get this far but we’re here”, is an inspirational quote from Selena Quintanilla, the “Queen of Tejano Music” As a result of Selena Quintanilla’s determination, persistence, and talent, she has become a role model for Latinos. Selena Quintanilla was born on April 16th, 1971 in Lake Jackson, Texas. She died because she was shot by the president of her fan club (Yolanda Saldivar) on March 31st. Her mom’s name is Marcella and her dad’s name is Abraham, she is the youngest in her family, she has one sister and one brother, they are Suzette and A.B.

For the oral history project, I interviewed my grandmother. Her full name is Imelda Laborce, while she is known as “Meldy” to most family members. She was born in a small town called Calapacuan in the Zambales region of the Philippines. She was born in 1955 and is 61 years old. Like me, she was born in the Philippines but eventually moved to America sometime in her life. I believed she was a good candidate because I knew she was one of the earliest members of my family to travel to America. Hence, she must have good stories and have a rich background. I also never really knew anything about her past, so I just thought it would be interesting in general to learn about it. She currently lives in Union, New Jersey and works in a hospital as a nurse.

Picking someone for this paper was much more difficult than the first one, at immediate thought the only people I knew over the age of 65 were my family members. I started to look into some of my friends’ parents but they were not quite there. Then it hit me, the perfect person to interview would be my friend that passed away in Dickinson, her grandmother. She is one of the most loving, caring, supportive grandparents I have ever met. I have always seen her from that stand point so interviewing her would only help me to understand how she became the way she is today.

Consequently, she did have support from the ones who wanted change for the betterment of their lives. Throughout the trails I was facing, I had supportive friends, family, and counselors that pushed me to strive harder and harder than others expected. Particularly, her courage, diligence, and rectitude gained her success and respect throughout the world. Being challenged through the four years at my high school, I first suffered from bitterness from others, then I grew this confidence and success that overshadowed everyone’s hurtful

The person I’m interviewing is Priscila De La Rocha. She’s seventeen years old and was born on January 9, 1998. She’s from the Valley. Ever since she was small she would move a lot like for an example Los Angeles, San Fernando, Panorama and so more. Her eye color is light brown and her favorite color is red that’s why her hair is red because it’s her favorite color. She’s outgoing, likes to party alot, really honest, and loud.

I chose my friend, Rheanna Lynn Esparza, as my interviewee for my cultural interview. While I was interviewing Rheanna, I used the same questions I answered about myself during my cultural diorama presentation. During the interview, I was able to grasp a better understanding of Rheannas culture while allowing her to develop a better understanding of her own culture and family history.

For my report, I chose to interview my middle-aged father, Nick Steele Jr. He is one of my biggest motivators, friend, and teacher. He is currently fifty-four years old and has embarked on endless life-learning adventures during his time here on earth. A lot of my personality has been in one way, shape or form, been influenced by him in one way or the other.

1. Question: Share some of the background of your interviewee (or couple). What was this person’s/couple’s story?

However, she didn’t let up on her goals. Instead she used that as fuel to do even better in school and be the absolute best version of herself

She is African American who has two kids. She had a job, but then something happened. Then one day, she had an idea to open a restaurant outside of a store, so when the people come out they would smell the delicious meat pies.

As mentioned above, I chose Oniqa as my interviewee because of the impact she has had on my life in the time I have

    The person I interviewed was Mrs. L. I know her because she is my mother’s mother. The interview took place at my house and the interview lasted about 2 hours and 20 minutes. I chose to interview Mrs. L because she seems to have done everything right and in the right order to lead to a successful life. I thought it would be interesting to go into depth and find out how she really did it and find out the hardships that came with making a successful family and life. (word count: 90)

Another trait possessed by successful women entrepreneurs is persistence. Starting a business is one thing; but sticking to the entrepreneurial process is another. Nothing good comes easy; you must give a good fight and persist on what you want; if you are to really achieve success in the business world. Without persistence, I don’t think you can become a successful business woman.
