Sheila faced her circumstances well. For three days, Harriet gave Sheila an orientation of her special identity as a scholar.

"Most of the people who attended yesterday were outsiders. The school only have 50 students and most live in their homes. Only thirteen of you are stay-ins as foreigners but you're the only person who was given the full scholarship. The rest paid either half or whole."
