| When Oseola McCarty,
who was called Ola, was 5, she moved to Hattiesburg , Mississippi with her Grandma and aunt.
They
worked hard everyday
doing chores like such as washing clothes by hand on a washboard, making candles, and
ironing for people. They were paid 50 cents
for each bundle of clothes. Through the course of her life, Ola learned to save
her money. When she was 87,
she gave over $150,000 to the University of Mississippi.
I
liked this book, because I like to learn about things that
happened before I was born. It was a good example of what being
thrifty can do for you.
