One thing about Annie is she is very confident about herself and wants the best for her and her kids. In her words she says “I looked up the road I was going and back the way I came, and since I wasn’t satisfied, I decided to step off the road and cut me a new path.”

 Determined- Annie was determined because when she was running her, it states “Although business was slow, those first days Annie was determined”  Brave- She was brave because she knew that she might not be able to get a job after divorcing her husband but she didn’t care and was brave enough to go out on her own to find work.  Courageous- Annie was courageous because she did something that risked everything. She divorced her husband even when she knew that she probably couldn’t get a job.

Annie faced many problems during her life.

Her lunch stop eventually turned into a store where she sold many goods. Another problem is that Annie was a divorced mother with two kids and no job or husband to make money. So as said before she got a job selling lunch in between two factories where at lunchtime, the workers from the two factories would come to Annie to get lunch. They would by these items for a nickel or three cents each.

 The thing that changed Annie was divorcing her husband and taking a new path.
