Patrick Pina Jr. FSHD 117 11/18/2002 Interview with an Adult Assignment Family Life I interviewed a very close friend of mine that has been like a father figure to me since my dad had passed away. I felt that he was the best person to interview about family, careers, martial relationship and the aging process of getting old and gray. Also, the cognitive functioning and physical functioning. Victor Solis was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1960. He graduated from Sunnyside High school in 1979. He stated, “As I grew up in the ghetto (Southside of Tucson) We didn’t have a lot of money to spend, we spend the money we did have on food, bills and expenses that were necessities.” Victor parents were very strict on him, taught him the values of life and the skills he needed to survive in this world that we live in today. He said that his parents often told him, “ in order to be successful in this life you need to work hard and never give up on yourself, believe in yourself.” He often thought that his parents where talking a lot of bologna, but as he grew up he realized that those words started to make sense after a while. His parents were very discipline and if he did anything wrong in school or wherever, they let him have with an extension cord. “It was never easy to do something wrong because you always thought of the consequences that would happen to you” he said. His family life when he was a kid was tough because of the money situation but, made him appreciate what he has now in life. He says that when ever he has a chance he tells his parents thank you for their hard work and discipline they put in him. Victor Solis is married to Maria Solis and they have been married for 10 years, they first meant in high school and have been together since then. Victor also has two boys that both attend Sunnyside High school, one is 16 and the other is 14. Victor says, “That he tries to push his kids to the best and stress that education is the future, and without it you will not be able to do the things you would like.” Victor tries to encourage he kids to do something that he didn’t get a chance to do and that is attending college and finish it. He never had the opportunity to go to college because of the financial situation in his house; he had to start working right when he finishes high school. Victor says a normal day in there house is the kids coming home from school and both him and his wife coming home around five and eating dinner at eight o’clock. Victor tries to have a normal family life because he wants his family being able to spend quality time with each other.
