Back in 2007 I wrote the following:
My intentions in creating a blog stems from my interest in pursuing a doctoral degree in the next few years! This blog shall serve as a vehicle that will allow my thoughts about bilingual/bicultural education to flourish and develop to what eventually will be my dissertation! I hope that I can create honest and intellectual conversations with fellow bloggers who might have an interest in what I am posting.
Now that it is 2020:
What an incredible multilingual journey this blog has been! I went from blogging about my interest in being bilingual, raising a bilingual child and another multilingual child, completing a doctorate in bilingual and bicultural education to starting a tenure-track job focused on bilingual education and bilingualism. I would do it all over again! I intend on continuing to write about MY interpretations of a bilingual life. Specifically, how language intersects with class and race in places like the Central Coast of California where Mexico is a ~seven hour drive away. I am exploring other venues to share about bilingualism which includes local and national media, podcasts, guest posts, and consulting opportunities.
