That is pretty much her story for the four high school years, although her cheerful smile doesn ' t hide the fact that she has been pretty busy at home and at work in the city. Her commercial course suggests that she means to go right on working, but she hasn ' t as yet definitely made up her mind. When she does, we are sure that her smile will carry her a long way.
