Leonie C.R. Smith states how the road to education, the key to our success, is difficult but promising. Being educated is her destiny, I believe that it should be every black woman's destiny. She takes us on her life journey, where she runs into many obstacles, of being a literate black woman. She starts off in Antigua with her family who come from a long line of illiteracy although her father and mother were intelligent they did not have the forms to verify, due to their choice to drop out of school to provide for their family. Even though she came from a non-educated background she still strived and believed that she could get through school due to the fact that her family were survivors and very resilient. Education was very important to her due to her grandmother being victimized and losing her estate due to her illiteracy.
