The main character of this article is Thakane Masondo. The author takes a point in the begining to describe a normal school life filled with activities. This is sharply contrasted with her difficult life outside school. She is homeless, has familly troubles, and few friends. Dispite her difficult circumstances, she still desires to be a pilot and is willing to put in the work to get there. She is willing to spend the little money she has in order to take the SAT. Ms. Masondo also appears to be studious. She stays up late and does her home work in the dark. All of these demonstrate to me that she is a very determined person.
I think this article was published because the person has a great story to tell. Thakane Masondo is such a determined person who wants to succeed that her difficult home life cannot impede her.
If I was interviewing her, I would like to know more about her grades. She seems to work really hard and is studious, but the article never says whether her hard work is paying off. I also would like to know in general what she thought of her family and if she thought she would be as determined as she is if her situation was different.
