As the eldest in her new cottage, Mary carries herself well, trying her best to be a good example to her young sisters. She is cheerful, obedient and respectful. She has developed a wonderful sense of humor, though she is still shy around new adults. Mary likes her studies and also participates in extra-curricular activities. She is cooperative, always anxious to please, and seems eager to improve. Her listening skills have greatly improved, and she always obeys her teachers. She is self-confident, which helps her to do her best in her academics and extra-curricular activities.
