Wilson Kwamogi Okello and David Pérez II highlight Christian's story from their study of 100 Latino undergraduate men at 20 selective universities. Christian's experiences as an apparently successful student exemplify the double-edged nature of Latino men's challenges in higher education. Okello and Pérez apply the concept of public and hidden transcripts to his experience; according to his public transcript, Christian is a success story, graduating in four years with a 3.4 GPA and ending up with a good job. However, this version does not recognize the psychological toll of the systemic oppression he experienced as a Latino male, such as microaggressions, lack of support, and lack of social connectedness. In light of Christian's story, Okello and Pérez question whether standard metrics are adequate to determine whether college students are successful.
