Title: The Scholarship Jacket


Author: Marta Salinas

Summary:

Martha, a young Mexican-American girl in Texas, has worked diligently throughout her school years, aiming to earn
the prestigious scholarship jacket awarded to the class valedictorian. This jacket symbolizes academic excellence and
is a coveted honor in her school.

As the end of eighth grade approaches, Martha is confident she'll receive the jacket due to her consistent top grades.
However, she overhears a conversation between the principal and a teacher, revealing that the school board has
decided to charge a $15 fee for the jacket this year. Martha knows her grandparents, who have raised her, cannot
afford this expense.

Determined, Martha approaches the principal to explain her situation. The principal, understanding the unfairness,
decides to waive the fee, allowing Martha to receive the scholarship jacket without cost. This experience teaches
