In between rat fights she befriends Old Tom who introduces her to a mystic, a gatekeeper of one of the precious sites of Bastet, protectorate of all things feline.

StarGuard: Best Practices for Lifeguards

This ethnographic study explores the lives of  Mexican-origin teenagers living in Lexington,  Kentucky, to understand what    drives their educational choices. Why are so many    of them not attending school? What are they are    doing instead? What do they need to make it    possible or desirable to attend school?    Latinos graduate from high school in lower numbers  than any other ethnic group both nationally and in  Kentucky. As this population grows, it is imperative  that this phenomenon be understood and addressed.    White used intensive participation and    observation in the rapidly growing Mexican   community in Lexington over fourteen months and  found that the factors affecting educational  decisions were complexly interwoven.  Those factors  included cultural and structural components, but  this researcher argues it is more fruitful to  understand the choices young people make as   being rooted in their identities. She uses figured    world theory to understand the relationships   between identity, agency, and education-related  decision - making.
