    KUWENTO/STORIES: A NARRATIVE INQUIRY OF FILIPINO AMERICAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS _____________ A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Educational Leadership Sam Houston State University _____________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education _____________ by Pat Lindsay Carijutan Catalla May, 2019 KUWENTO/STORIES: A NARRATIVE INQUIRY OF FILIPINO AMERICAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS by Pat Lindsay Carijutan Catalla ______________ APPROVED: Paul William Eaton, PhD Dissertation Director Rebecca Bustamante, PhD Committee Member Ricardo Montelongo, PhD Committee Member Stacey Edmonson, PhD Dean, College of Education DEDICATION I dedicate this body of work to my family, ancestors, friends, colleagues, dissertation committee, Filipino American community, and my future self. I am deeply thankful for all the support each person has given me through the years in the doctoral program. This is a journey I will never, ever forget. iii ABSTRACT Catalla, Pat Lindsay Carijutan, Kuwento/Stories: A narrative inquiry of Filipino American Community College students. Doctor of Education (Education), May, 2019, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. The core of this narrative inquiry is the kuwento, story, of eight Filipino American community college students (FACCS) in the southern part of the United States. Clandinin and Connelly’s (2000) three-dimension inquiry space—inwards, outwards, backwards, and forwards—provided a space for the characters, Bunny, Geralt, Jay, Justin, Ramona, Rosalinda, Steve, and Vivienne, to reflect upon their educational, career, and life experiences as a Filipino American. The character’s stories are delivered in a long, uninterrupted kuwento, encouraging critical discourse around their Filipino American identity development and educational struggles as a minoritized student in higher education.

    THE THIN LINE: Life on the Edge Skier Biographies BODE MILLER Bode Miller burst onto the World Cup scene as an 18-year-old in 1996 and first gained widespread recognition when he won two silver medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics in the Giant Slalom and Combined events. Miller has won a total of four gold medals and one silver medal at the World Championships.

In May 2007, Miller announced that he was leaving the U.S. Ski Team to race as an independent. PICABO STREET One of the most prolific women’s racers to ever grace the U.S. Ski Team, Picabo Street was most definitely a ski racing personality. The native of tiny Triumph, Idaho announced her retirement from competition following the 2002 women’s Olympic downhill at Snowbasin, Utah, ending a career that included nine career World Cup victories, the 1995 and 1996 World Cup downhill discipline titles and a trio of World Championships medals to go along with her two Olympic medals, including the Super-G gold at the 1998 Nagano Games. In addition, Street collected a total of four U.S. National titles during her illustrious career, despite being injured and away from ski racing for two years.
