Idaho, USA



I was born in Sun Valley, Idaho and spent my first year of life there. After that my parents moved to south OKC where I was raised. I still have a lot of family in Idaho and we go back to visit every so often. This is one of the photos I took over there by my grandmas house back in 2015.

    Oh, how great that you have an excuse to keep visiting Idaho, Jose... and all that snow sure looks good in the hot days of August. There are so many great Native American storytelling traditions in that part of the country; maybe you will use this class to learn something about those Idaho peoples and stories. You would already know the landscapes that go with the stories! :-)

    Hi Jose,

    I like your picture. Idaho looks very pretty in the winter. I don't believe I've met someone from Idaho before so I don't know much about it.

My name is Jose Juan Ruiz Macias Jr. I am the son of Jose Juan Macias Ruiz and Irma Liliana Ruiz Ramos. Both are Mexican immigrants that came to the USA in 1997.

My dad wasn't a big fan of the cold weather, so we moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he previously lived for a couple of years with his older brothers. I grew up in the south side of OKC next to OCCC. I attended Western Heights High School and graduated in the top ten percent with distinguished honors. I also played soccer and ran cross-country from sophomore to senior year. I came to OU as an undecided major, pursuing a career in pharmacy. After two years, I changed majors to chemical bioscience, and now I am in the process of applying to grad schools to obtain a PhD.D. I am not exactly sure what I want to study. I've looked at several programs including biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, and genetic...
