This story was about a girl who always tried to gain the approval of her father. She had six other brothers and always felt invisible. Growing up, she felt unappreciated and forgotten by both her brothers and her father. One thing that her father believed was that she would find a husband in college. However, after four years in college, she still had no husband. It almost seemed as if she had failed her father and was only a dissapointment to the family. But was her years in college a complete waste? Was it all work for nothing? No, that is not the case at all and she proved that it was not. After majoring in English, the daughter successfully wrote professionally for ten years and begun making a lot of money. Finally, at the end of the story, she wins the approval of her father and recevies the appreciation of her hard work in college.

I believe that this story is sending the message that hard work never is a waste. Even if you do not find what you intended to find, there is always rewards in store for you.
