Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship
What is Character?
Character is more than simply how we act toward others. Character is the unique qualities that each person possesses that tell them how to act. Character is how we act when no one is looking.
Everyone has character, but that doesn’t mean that it’s always good. Doing the right thing shows people that we have GOOD character. Having good character is what guides us to do the right things, even when no one is looking and when we do not receive recognition for it.
How to be a person of good character
• Be a good person, someone to look up to and admire.
• Think right and do right—know the difference between right and wrong and always do what is right.
• Set a good example for everyone.
• Make the world a better place.
