  Grisel Gonzalez was interviewed about what she wants to do after high school. Gonzalez is a sophomore at Bonneville High School, and she has been a member of The Bonneville Buzz for (how long). She used to play soccer, specifically in a soccer club team called PFC (Palacios Football Club). After high school, one of her goals is “to become an X-ray tech.” An X-ray technician, or radiologic technologist, is someone that performs medical exams using X-rays on patients to create a specific image of a part of the body. These images are often used to monitor a disease or a diagnosis. Gonzalez acknowledged her mom was the one who inspired her to aim for this job. Before settling down, getting married, and having children, Gonzalez’ mother wanted to become a traveling radiologic technologist, but then she got married and was not really able to travel. Because Gonzalez's mom did not have that opportunity, she wants her daughter to have that. Gonzalez was asked if she was planning on getting married and having kids. She said she is planning on getting married, but it will be later in her life so she can fulfill her mom's dream.
   To help prepare for her education, Gonzalez is taking many dual credit classes, so she “can have those core classes finished” by the time she starts her freshman year of college. She is currently taking dual credit communications. Next year she is planning on taking college writing and dual credit history. These can prepare her by getting more college credits done so she can graduate college faster. Beyond choosing specific classes, Gonzalez is also planning how to pay for her education. She is planning on getting a job where she can, but she would prefer a job at Orange Leaf because “it's a cute job.”
  Although Gonzalez has a few schools in mind, she is still unsure where she will end up for school. She is considering the College of Eastern Idaho because some of her friends are planning on attending there, but she is leaning towards Idaho State University. If she had the opportunity to go to any college, she would want to attend New York University. In the end, Gonzalez is planning on staying in Idaho because it will be cheaper than going somewhere out of state.
  Grisel Gonzalez is a sophomore at Bonneville High School who is preparing for college at College of Eastern Idaho or, hopefully, her dream college, New York University. There she can fulfill her mom's dream of becoming a traveling radiologic technologist. Wherever she ends up, The Bonneville Buzz wishes her a successful and optimistic future.
