She and several of her young children had been getting up very early in the morning to go out in the fields and chop cotton ​ — removing the weeds growing between the rows — ​ in order to earn enough money so that I could take the trip to New York.
Ternyata, selama beberapa waktu, dia dan anak - anaknya yang masih kecil bangun pagi - pagi sekali untuk mencabut rumput liar di ladang kapas. Mereka melakukannya supaya bisa memberi saya uang untuk pergi ke New York.
