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. I was born that same year in the small town of Sun Valley, Idaho. I spent my first year of life there. 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.

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.

You would already know the landscapes that go with the stories! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Jose,

All I know is that they have really good potatoes and I'll never forget when Boise State beat OU in that bowl game. That statue of liberty play is ingrained in my memory forever.
