Carolyn has a mother who tells her to be proud of who she is and what she has accomplished, and that impacts how she reacts to her employer as a college student and then twelve years later.
<h3>Carolyn and her employer</h3>
In "Endless Summer Job," Carolyn Ferrell tells the true story of her relationship with both her mother and her white employer. Hired by the latter to work for very little money, Carolyn is reminded by the former that she should be proud of herself and her accomplishments.
Exploited by the white employer back when she was a college student, Carolyn quits her job after much humiliation. Twelve years later, she and her mother run into the woman at a shop.
Most likely influenced by her mother's attitude, Carolyn decides to talk to the former employer, remind the woman of who she is, and tell her about her accomplishments. The dialogue results in even more humiliation, as the woman still see Carolyn as a maid.
We can conclude that Carolyn's relationship with her mother is what leads her to try to remain proud but also to end up humiliated in the end. Carolyn knows better than to think she is seen as that woman's equal, but her mother does not.
