Betty Cornell told her that hair can either make it or break it, so Maya had to work with what she had. Maya has had the same hairdo for the longest time, so to raise her popularity she decided to change it. Betty told her to try rag curler that you put in your hair and just sleep in them and once you wake up, the perfect curl. Maya was excited to try something new, she did the rag curls and woke up for school the next day. As she took them out they did not go as planned. The other students are shocked and comment on her hair all day.

Maya has to work on her posture by standing tall and not slouching. Her classmates still comment and judges Maya a lot.

Quote number 3
"I walk lightly down to the bus stop, sucking in my stomach. I pull myself up into one straight line, even though it hurts my shoulder. Later in history class, I keep up my good posture. It definitely a challenge."(70)

Betty also gave Maya tips on what colors go with skin tone, hair color, and the color of your eyes.
