this is not my story but it is very inspiring

This 17 year old girl works 9 jobs, supports brother with cancer, and scored 85 percent In exams
.Every year many students pass 12th standard, but it's a different kind of victory for 17-year-old Shalini A. As the Science topper celebrated her 99.1 percent score, in north Bengaluru, a few kilometres away this Mariyappanapalya resident quietly toiled away working as a domestic help in at least eight part-time jobs, and as a cleaner at an office. During her time off, she tended to her sick father, finished housework, and studied for her upcoming exams.
On Monday, she scored 84.8 percent in the science stream. Now, she's preparing for the Common Entrance Test, a competitive exam for admissions in medical, dental and engineering courses in professional colleges in India.
A difficult road
Shalini's journey has been fraught with struggles early on. She has changed her medium of instruction thrice already — she started in a Tamil medium school, moved to Kannada, and then started learning in English just a couple of years back.
She told a newspaper that her father has been bed-ridden since she was seven years old, after he fell off a building. While he has regained some movement now, he is still restricted to staying at home.
For years, her mother worked as a domestic help in several houses so she could provide for Shalini and her younger brother. But early this year, her brother was diagnosed with third stage blood cancer, dealing a serious blow to the already-strained family circumstances.
The responsibility came on young Shalini's shoulders to help her mother cope with the new setback. While the two divided time between Shalini's brother at hospital and her father at home — Shalini always with a book in her hands — she also had to take over all of her mother's part-time jobs.
"If I had not put in so much time in the hospital, I might have scored better," she told the Mirror. "But my brother is more important to me than marks."
An impossible schedule
Every morning, the teenager wakes up at 4.30 am to complete household chores before she has to rush off to five houses in the neighbourhood to water plants and draw 'Rangoli' (auspicious floor patterns) in front of the houses.
By 6 a.m., it is time for her to head to an office, where she scrubs the floors and the bathrooms before the staff comes to work. At 7.30 am, it's time for her to wash clothes at another house.
By 9 a.m., when she's home, she has time to study for the CET for the next three and a half hours, all the time keeping an eye on any other work that needs to be done in her own house. She then goes to work at two more houses, comes back at 4.30 pm, and studies till 6 p.m.
She works for the rest of the evening in different houses, returning at night to study till about midnight. The next day, it's the same all over again.The remarkable teenager said she is happy to support her family, and doesn't mind the hard work. Her next goal is to crack the CET and get into a good college, and spoke in praise of her teachers who have helped her along the way.

in at least 150 words, discuss the tone of the narrator in "i stand here ironing," and explain how it impacts the telling of the story

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
