So I didn’t know that there was a prompt for the blog this week hence why I spoke about something’s that were on my mind and had to do with the readings and stuff. But now that I know the prompt I will start with talking about that. I realize that my professor wanted something more specific but I feel like the trends of Latinos in college is something that is of interest to me. The experience that they have and why is that the rate of graduation for Latino students is lower than other ethnicities. I have found many articles about these trends when I typed in things like “Latinos in College” or “Latinos in Higher Education”. I so far have found a few scholarly articles such as: http://mars.shpe.org/nila/usb/marketing/Latinos%20in%20Higher%20Education.pdf which did a study about the rate of Latinos in college; https://sakai.rutgers.edu/access/content/group/0a86f7f4-91da-486d-a7d2-e8b7a13ec43b/MacDonald_Garc%C3%ADa-Historical_perspectives.pdf  This scholarly article discusses the trends of Latinos in college and talks about the different time periods and where Latinos stood in those times when it came to going to college. Whether it was accepted or if many went things like that.  I didn’t find any controversy about these facts and studies but I know that there are some that are upset with the statistics of Latinos dropping out of college or never going to college. I think I want to write my paper about the trends of Latinos in College and why is it that some of them decide not to go or why many of them drop out.
