Book Review: Schooling Carmen by Kathleen Cross

    Carmen DuPre is a beautiful but arrogant guidance counselor at one of the roughest high schools in East Los Angeles, and her one and only mission in life is to garner a position to mentor gifted students at a more prestigious school. She hated her current job and circumstances because she had recently broken up with her long-time boyfriend, and as the name of the book implies, she simply had a lot to learn about life and people.

    Ms. DuPre would eventually come to a crossroad when she is humbled by a health issue that forces her to choose between her looks or her life. I enjoyed reading this book mainly because it points out that the most important aspects of life aren't superficial things like money, prestige or vanity. Next
