Welcome to Character Counts
​Week ​@ CGCA! 
​Where Good Character is our Super Power! 


Check out these Caped Super Heroes! 


​What Is Character?
Character is the sum total of our dispositions, attitudes, and habits. 
Character is something every individual develops for himself. 
Every day we make choices that determine our character - the kind of person we want to be. 


-Your character is defined by what you do.
​
-Every choice you make helps define the kind of person you are choosing to be. 
-Good character requires doing the right thing even when it’s costly or risky. 

-What you do matters, and one person can make a big difference.

​-The payoff for having good character is that it makes you a better person and it makes the world a better place.

A person of character...
  • Is a good person, someone to look up to and admire.
  • Knows the difference between right and wrong and always tries to do what is right.
  • Sets a good example for everyone.
  • Makes the world a better place.
  • Lives according to the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship
This two page handout lists each Pillar and explains what each looks like and means.
There are also underlined robust vocabulary words.
