Towards the end, when her classes are graduating and the girls are getting jobs, Debbie realizes the troubles she went through to get them to this point were really worth it. In Kabul Beauty School, by Deborah Rodriguez, Debbie thought up the plans for a beauty school, went through hell and back to accomplish the goal, and then realized the great things she contributed to the girls and the community.

She gets a hold of some very famous, in her case very important, people like John Paul DeJoria who happens to be the owner of Paul Mitchell.
Why I am Attending College I decided to go back to college to get further education. I wanted to set a good example for my kids and show them that their education is very important. My life has been an up and down hill battle until I went back to school. I have been out of school for eleven years now, so just imagine how I feel sitting back in a classroom.

All I was worried about was my mom getting me to practice on time or being the first one out to recess to get the good swing, but once middle school came around I started thinking about grades and how I needed to start doing well in my writing. No matter how hard I tried I struggled to find what the teacher was really looking for and they would have no problem pointing that out to me, because I would also jump back in and try again.
