Too Cool For School
Despite Laura’s intelligence, which few her age possessed, she never graduated high school. De Smet’s education system was underdeveloped, so there was nowhere that she could go to keep learning. However, that did not stop her from getting an education alone.
She always read a lot, given that her mother was a teacher, which got her ahead despite her lackluster formal education. She was always ahead of the curve, so when it came time to hire a new teacher, Laura was a natural fit for the job, and she never stopped learning or teaching.
