Question

my assignments youll get your jacket. i could hardly believe my ears. i spoke in a trembling rush. “oh, thank you, sir!” suddenly i felt great. i didnt know about adrenaline in those days, but i knew something was pumping through me, making me feel as tall as the sky. i wanted to yell, jump, run the mile, do something. i ran out so i could cry in the hall where there was no one to see me. at the end of the day, mr. schmidt winked at me and said, “i hear youre getting the scholarship jacket this year.” his face looked as happy and innocent as a babys, but i knew better. without answering i gave him a quick hug and ran to the bus. i cried on the walk home again, but this time because i was so happy. i couldnt wait to tell grandpa and ran straight to the field. i joined him in the row where he was working, and without saying anything i crouched down and started pulling up the weeds with my hands. grandpa worked alongside me for a few minutes, and he didnt ask what had happened. after i had a little pile of weeds between the rows, i stood up and faced him. “the principal said hes making an exception for me, grandpa, and im getting the jacket after all. thats after i told him what you said.” paragraphs 33 - 34 question 9. write: how do the narrators actions convey a change in her?
