Ever since an article about Lupe Perez ran in the UCLA paper, she's become the poster child for the American Dream: East L.A. bad girl who slashed cop makes good! She goes to school full-time, works in the food court, and volunteers at a center for at-risk teens. Against all odds, Lupe has turned her life around. The thing is, she never aksed for all this attention. Now, her professor wants her to write a gigantic thesis about what Americanization means to Mexican immigrants - and she's not even sure yet what it means to her.
