GEORGE:
Gee, it's funny, Emily. From my window up there I can just see your head nights when you're doing your homework over in your room.
EMILY:
Why, can you?
GEORGE:
You certainly do stick to it, Emily. I don't see how you can sit still that long. I guess you like school.
EMILY:
Well, I always feel it's something you have to go through.

I have an issue with the word "certainly" in this sentence. What does the author want to say with "certainly" there?
