Determined for Future

I am reading the book "Make Lemonade" by, Virginia Euwer Wolff. It is about a seventeen year old named Jolly who has two little kids, Jeremy and Jilly. She needs a babysitter and the only person up for the job is LaVaughn. LaVaughn is only fourteen but, thinks she is prepared for the job. She is doing this job to earn money for college. She is very determined for this money. I know this because, she has to go to Jolly's dirty apartment everyday after school and sits in a smelly room. Sometimes she even has to sleep over night. Also she has to watch these two children who are 'sticky' and dirty. She does this with no complaints to Jolly.

LaVaughn sits in a dirty and smelly apartment. She does this because she is determined to earn the money for her college. LaVaughn says the apartment smells like dirty diapers.  She stays in that stench after school all day and sometimes stays there over night. LaVaughn also says how the children are dirty, and their little bodies are 'sticky'.  Yet again, she still stays with them and doesn't give up on Jeremy and Jilly because she is determined.

In conclusion, LaVaughn is a very determined character to earn the money she needs to get to college. She spends her time in a very gross apartment wit two kids that are not too clean themselves. Comment below what you think. :)
