Princeton and how it changed her life

I think that she was really shocked and a little over whelmed by how when she got into princeton everyone in the area treated her different. They gave her the respect and attention that she never thought she would get. Since she was puerto rican during a time of discrimination she didnt know what it was like to be socially accepted. The biggest eye opener for sonia was when her mom said even she has been treated differently at work, it was almost as if she was now in a different social class. My favorite part of the chapter was when her mother wanted to buy the sweater at the store and the lady was being so mean to her until she brought up that it was a present to sonia for when she goes to college. The lady asked what college and her mother said princeton and the lady changed her attitude completely, was polite and helpful with the transaction. I just think this is a thing that happens today, people in place are treated different based on their economic class, and or people change the way they look at people once they find out that certain people they think are broke are really rich.
