Would you wake up in the middle of the night and sneak out with your mother to go to a private school? Would you be willing to walk in the dark and crawl into a dark pit to learn? If discovered you could be beaten or killed? Would you risk your life to learn to read and write? That is just what Rosa and her mom do each night because they want to learn so badly.
