We’ll end the week with a very important question to ask yourself: What character traits are important? Do you think that kindness is an important character trait? What about honesty or fairness? Maybe you think all these character traits are very important.

 

Now here's a little secret. Once you decide which character traits are really important to you, it will be much easier to make good choices. For example, if you decide it's important to be kind, it will be easy to be kind to a classmate others are teasing. You've already decided. You've decided to be a kind person, not a person who is mean to others.

 

Roy Disney (Walt Disney’s brother), once said that…

 

It's not hard to make choices when you know what character traits are important to you.

 

Today, stop and make a list of the character traits you think are most important and then make a decision to be that kind of person.
