Prince Edward County

In the chapter "A Bus Ticket and a World Away" its showed us the struggle of  Betty Jean Ward and her family. The father wanted the last two of his children to not be like his other four children that haven't finished high school. this led him to rent out a house eighteen miles away in Appomattox County. Just to give them a better education. this made me realize how far would a parent go just to see their children succeed.
