Princeton Life

    I was particularly struck by page 158. I am surprised by how Princeton changed Sonia's life in the  most simplest of unexpected ways. Sonia fell in love with this jacket but it was size too small, Celina decided to ask the saleswoman if by any chance they had a bigger size or the store has another location they could purchase it. Unfortunately, to her surprise the saleswoman began to give  Celina so much attitude but she was so determined to make her daughter happy. Saleswoman began to complain that it would be a lot a trouble to just to seek another way for her to get the jacket. Besides ain't that her job to make the customers happy? .....because of Sonia's mom determination she finally said that she wanted to get the jacket has a gift for her daughter going away to college. The saleswoman asked, "so where's she going to college?" I'm saddened by the way her attitude changed after she heard Princeton. The saleswoman suddenly became courteous, respectful and even made a phone call. What a surprise? She only decided to help, when she discovered Sonia's social class before she was just looking at two minority latinos. I am happy today's world is more diverse, not saying this wouldn't have happen in todays world but today more minorities are at the top of the social ladder.
