She was very strong-headed in this experience because she did not let the NKVD get into her head and did not let them bring her down. She was also very strong because she saw all those people die, and even some were her family and friends, If she was not as strong then seeing all those people die could have made her sad and eventually end up dying with them, but she learned to just deal with it and keep going on with life, and know that it would eventually all get better.
