BE A PERSON OF CHARACTER

THE SIX PILLARS OF CHARACTER ARE:

Trustworthiness – color: Blue

Trustworthiness is being honest, telling the truth, keeping promises, and being loyal so people can trust you. Trustworthy people don’t lie, cheat or steal. They have integrity and the moral courage to do the right thing and to stand up for their beliefs even when it is difficult to do so.

Respect – color: Yellow

Respect is showing others they are valued for who they are, for their character, not what they look like or what they have. It means never insulting or making fun of others who are different in looks, ability, race or religion. A respectful person is polite, and does not use bad language or hit.

Responsibility – color: Green

Responsibility is doing what you are supposed to do. Responsible people think ahead, set reasonable goals, control their temper and always do their best. They don’t give up easily and they are accountable for the consequences of their choices; they don’t blame others for their mistakes.

Fairness – color: Orange

Fairness is playing by the rules, taking turns, sharing and listening to what others have to say. Fair people do not take advantage of others. They consider all sides before they decide, and they don’t blame other people for something they did not do.

Caring – color: Red

Caring is being kind, helpful and generous to everyone. Caring people are unselfish. They are considerate and they think how their conduct affects others and how others feel. Caring people are charitable and forgiving and they do good without expecting a reward.

Citizenship – color: Purple

Citizenship is doing your share to make your community a better place for everyone. Good citizens are also good neighbors. They cooperate with others, and obey laws and rules. They respect authority and protect the environment.
