When Marie was 6, her father lost his job and their home. They moved to a small flat. It was noisy and crowded. But the noise did not stop her from studying. In 1883, Marie finished high school. She dreamed of becoming a scientist. But in Poland, girls were not allowed to go to college. And her family did not have enough money to send her to a university in another country. Reaching her dream seemed impossible. Marie and her sister Bronya decided to study in France. Marie would work to pay for Bronya's schooling. Then, once Bronya left school, she would work and pay for Marie's schooling. Finally, in 1891, Marie's dream cane true. She entered a university in Paris.
