Que Dios me las cuide y bendiga siempre. Gracias por todas las oraciones, los consejos, y el amor que me brindaron durante estos años tan difíciles que dediqué a mis estudios académicos. ¡Las amo con todo mi corazón! Texas Tech University, Florencio Urías Aranda III, August 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank God, my Virgencita María, and my guardian angel/baby sister, Dezery Marie “Princess” Aranda, for allowing the blessed opportunity to complete this degree. I thank my almighty God for always holding my hand and guiding me through this academic journey for He only knows the great sacrifice, obstacles, tears and fears I experienced. To my blessed celestial Mother, thank you for always hearing my prayers and for providing me with the strength to persevere. También le doy las gracias a mi hermosa hermanita por siempre cubrirme con sus bellas alas de ángel porque sé que desde el cielo me ha cuidado y protegido. Secondly, I would like to thank my loving and supporting family for being a part of my life and for believing in my scholastic abilities. No hay suficientes palabras que puedan expresan mi gran agradecimiento porque sin el amor que me brindan, el constante apoyo que me dan, y las infinitas oraciones que hicieron por mi realmente son las razones por lo cual estoy aquí realizando todos mis sueños. ¡Desde lo más profundo de mi humilde corazón les doy las gracias y los amo muchísimo! To my beautiful and most supportive mother, Maricela U. Aranda, thank you for not letting me fall when I most felt defeated. Thank you for your constant advice and prayers, and for being my rock and best friend. To my amazing father (mi Tata), Florencio Jr., thank you for your support and for showing me what hard work, passion, and what being a man is all about. Tata, tú siempre serás mi mayor ejemplo. To my Wela Tela, mi hermosa viejita, gracias por tus palabras de aliento, por tus oraciones, y por siempre darme el ejemplo de que “Sin Dios, no somos nada.” Also, Welo José, Nina Juanita and kids, and Sister Jo Ann and family, i Texas Tech University, Florencio Urías Aranda III, August 2015 thank you for the immense love and support over the years. To all my loved ones, I hope I have made you proud! Moreover, I would like to thank my committee members because each one has helped me grow as a person and as a scholar. Dr. Paton, thank you for your support and for believing in me when I failed to believe in myself. Thank you for taking me under your wing when I felt hopeless and defeated in my scholastic quest. I admire your leadership and respect you so much. Thank you for being a part of this degree and I kept my promise to you…I am finally a Ph.D.! Dr. Valle, you have been such a great role model and mentor throughout these years. I thank you for introducing me to the Latina/o academic familia and for always being so helpful and supportive throughout this process. I thank you for having numerous pláticas about my academic pursuits and for motivating me to continue my passion of aiding our Latina/o population through Education. Dr. Hartmeister, thank you for being a part of my committee. Thank you, for helping me explore my passions of politics, law, and education. You have been so encouraging since day one, and I could never thank you enough. Furthermore, I would like to thank my study participants for being so willing to assist me in making my dream a reality. As Latino leaders in this great nation of ours, I thank you for allowing me into you professional, academic, and personal lives. You are all truly inspirational as you are living proof that no matter the upbringing, racial/ethnic background, or obstacles encountered, with hard work, perseverance, and tenacity all dreams and aspirations are possible. I admire the dedication and commitment that you have made for the members of our Latina/o population and to all citizens of the United States. I hope to one day be able serve this great nation as you all currently do, because ii Texas Tech University, Florencio Urías Aranda III, August 2015 you all have inspired me to continue my passionate quest of being a advocate for social justice and educational equality. I give you all my most sincere and utmost respect and gratitude. Additionally, I would like to thank my true friends for the support, laughter, advice, and continuous love during my time at Texas Tech University. I thank you for helping me create a Lubbock family and home while being away from my loved ones. To my professors and colleagues, thank you for the help, tutoring sessions, and study “get-togethers” for these things played a role in my degree completion. To those individuals who supported me financially, your contributions will forever be remembered as your money made this degree possible. Furthermore, I would like to thank Robert Lee Escamilla and PJ Gil for helping me transcribe my interviews and to Dr. Marcelo Schmidt for helping me organize my thoughts and for editing my writing. Thank you for making this dissertation less stressful for me. Lastly, I would like to thank my roommates: Robert Lee Escamilla, Mocha, and Latte. Robert, as my best friend and brother from another mother, you have no idea how much you have aided me in this process. Thank you for listening to me as I read sections of this dissertation, for always giving me words of encouragement, for pushing me to write when I was distracted, and for being that shoulder to cry on when I felt I couldn’t possibly finish. I am forever grateful. I love you, bro, and thanks for being a wonderful friend to me! To my puppies, Mocha and Latte, thank you for being my study buddies when I would write until crazy hours of the night. Having you both lay at my feet while I sat at my computer desk writing this dissertation allowed me to feel that I was never truly alone in this process. iii Texas Tech University, Florencio Urías Aranda III, August 2015 From my grateful and humbled heart, I appreciate each and every one who has been a part of my life. I love you and may God continue to bless each and every one. iv Texas Tech University, Florencio Urías Aranda III, August 2015 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................. i ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... ix LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................... xi LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................ xii CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY .......................................................... 1 Statement of the Problem ................................................................................................ 5 Purpose of the Study ....................................................................................................... 6 Research Questions ......................................................................................................... 9 Significance of the Study ................................................................................................ 9 Summary of the Theoretical Framework ...................................................................... 10 Summary of Methodology ............................................................................................ 12 Assumptions .................................................................................................................. 13 Limitations .................................................................................................................... 14 Delimitations ................................................................................................................. 15 Definition of Terms ....................................................................................................... 15 Summary ....................................................................................................................... 18 Organizational Structure of the Remainder of the Study .............................................. 19 CHAPTER II: REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE .......................................................... 20 Introduction ................................................................................................................... 20 Context .......................................................................................................................... 23 Factors Impacting College Completion for Latino Males ............................................. 23 Social Factors ...........................................................................................................
