Born into poverty, Margaret Ann Thomas found solace and opportunity in the classroom. Her teachers recognized her intelligence and encouraged her to excel. She poured herself into her studies, and soon she was at the top of her class. But her success did not come without challenges.

Margaret Ann faced discrimination from her classmates and even from some of her teachers. She was told that she would never amount to anything because she was poor and from the wrong side of town. But she refused to let their words defeat her. She worked even harder, and she proved them all wrong.
