Learning Objective: Describe your own character in terms of character qualities.

Definitions
Character: The personal qualities and features that guide our decisions, tell of the kind of person we are, and keep us steady in a life of compromising tremors
Self-discovery: To know ourselves better; learning about ourselves

Video Debriefing
If your friends, family and teachers were asked to describe your character, what would they say?
I believe my teachers would say I'm outgoing and talkative, yet I am an intelligent girl as well.
My friends would say I am a fun person to hang out with and a great listener who helps them when they need it.
My family would say I'm a silly, caring, talkative, chocolate loving, good girl.

Discuss & Reflect
Who would you say is a "person of character?" What positive character qualities does this person posses? What choices has this person made in the past that illustrate character?
My father is a "person of character". He is quite serious when it comes down to his family and his job. He is a loving father and husband. He is a diligent worker and can be counted on. He is wise and is strong. As he grew, he received all these qualities, and more.

Get Go
Ask your friends, family and teachers, how they would describe your character. Do their responses match with what you thought they would say?
The responses matched up in some places.

My Character
Friends: They say I'm funny, outgoing, and fun to hang out with.
Family: They say I'm caring, unselfish, and I have a big heart.
Teachers: They say I'm a bright girl who can get talkative.
