Chimamanda is a lively and gifted student who needs to believe in her capabilities. Nevertheless, she is encouraged to develop genuine concern for those around her, sit up in her studies, groom a truthful tongue, and pour extra effort into caring for herself and her belongings. At home, she is advised to put all she has gathered in school, both in character and learning, into practice to avoid starting from scratch and struggling again when she returns for the new session.
