Abstract

The authors are roses in the concrete jungle that is academia, and their journey here was completely unexpected. Yet here they are, a Mexican American second generation inner-city at-risk student and a Mexican immigrant migrant student, trying not only to survive but to thrive. They began as K-12 public school educators and that will always guide their work and research in bilingual and multicultural education; they maintain a committed resolve to always remain true to that. They have an unwavering passion for their students and that is what has motivated them to continuously strive to make a positive impact and revolutionize education in the small ways that they can. Their journeys into higher education were a surprise to even them, but as they walk their paths, they are constantly reminded that it is for that very reason that their existence here is critical.
