After jumping off the train, she walked around trying to find somebody to help her to get to the school she would be working at. After the school got started Charlotte recieved a letter saying that she must close the school down, so Charlotte went a couple of days without eating. Then Charlotte and few other children helped after school to clean. Charlotte took so much time for the students at Palmer Institute, she concluded dances,study sessions and singing groups. Paragraph three: ~Some characteristics that made Charlotte so important were that she was very self confident and strong willed. Charlotte was also very determined, one day she walked for miles trying to get people to contribute to the Palmer instutite. Finally she sat down and prayed that the manager of the motel would let her in to talk to the visitors, before she finished praying the manager came out and said she could come in.

In this book when it starts it talks about her slip and keeps going about how Charlotte was so determined. In pictures of Charlotte she seems so strong like she can do whatever she wants. The book also states how Charlotte would do anything for the children to learn. The money that she recieved went straight to the school none went to Charlotte.
