“DA Voices” is a recurring feature used to spotlight De Anza College’s diverse community voices. We ask the same question to different people and arrange their quotes so that readers can see varying points of view. This week, our reporters Ebony Campbell and Gordon Yang asked, “What did you do this summer?”

Zachery Magana, 18, a nursing major, said he spent the summer working at the California’s Great America aquatic center.

“My job involves organizing the shifts and training new staffs,” Magana said.

“I did the whitewater rafting there, which is really fun. I also went to Nashville Zoo,” Murray said.
