Read the text evidence and choose the character trait that best fits Lupe.

To strengthen her wrists, she decided to do twenty push-ups on her fingertips, five ata time. “One, two, three . . .” she groaned. By the end of the first set she was breathinghard, and her muscles burned from exhaustion. She did one more set and decided that was enough push-ups for the first day.

She squeezed a rubber eraser one hundred times, hoping it would strengthen her thumb. This seemed to work because the next day her thumb was sore. She could hardly hold a marble in her hand, let alone send it flying with power. So Lupe rested that day and listened to her brother, who gave her tips on how to shoot: get low, aim with one eye, and place one knuckle on the ground.

“Think ‘eye and thumb’—and let it rip!” he said.

After school the next day she left her homework in her backpack and practiced three hours straight, taking time only to eat a candy bar for energy. With a popsicle stick, she drew an odd-shaped circle and tossed in four marbles. She used her shooter, a milky agate with hypnotic swirls, to blast them. Her thumb had become stronger.

After practice, she squeezed the eraser for an hour. She ate dinner with her left hand to spare her shooting hand and said nothing to her parents about her dreams of athletic glory.

Practice, practice, practice. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Lupe got better and beat her brother and Alfonso, a neighbor kid who was supposed to be a champ.

"What are you putting on the place cards?" she asked. "Pretty flowers" said Gloria. "Rainbows and happy trees." Frances began to draw on a place card and as she drew she sang: A rainbow and a happy tree. Are not for Alice or for me. I will draw three-legged cats. And caterpillars with ugly hats.
