In Raymond's Run Where is Squeaky born?

By the end of the story, Squeaky is a completely different person. She respects Gretch and Raymond and she has become confident in herself. "Cause she's good, no doubt about it." Instead of rubbing it in that she won, she can compliment Gretchen and give her a true smile. She also learns to respect Raymond. As she watches him climb the fence after the race, she realizes, "Raymond would make a very fine runner" (27). She's ready to give up running to coach Raymond because she has many other things she can be good at. She is no longer so insecure about herself that she has to be the best runner.
