Quote #10
"Maybe. But I haven't enjoyed home in so long, and now I think I can—I want to try. I want to make my pa's breakfast, and take care of Britta's garden, and spare Marda the slaying of the winter rabbits. And I want to open an academy where anyone can come learn. Esa is going to help me." (25.150)

It's time for her to settle down with her family and open a school for the villagers on Mount Eskel now. After all, who else will take care of their education?
