Character

This week in HMP 722 it was my turn to teach a class. My partner Alison and I taught our class on character. I learned a lot from the experience. I learned a lot about character and I also learned a lot about myself and presenting. This was the longest presentation I have ever done and as someone who doesn't like public speaking, I was nervous for it. I was happy with the way the presentation went and I enjoyed reading critiques of what people had to say about our presentation. It was a good experience and I hope to build off it next time.

As for character, one of my favorite parts was learning about the 6 pillars of character. The 6 pillars are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. For our class we had everyone pick the 3 pillars that mean the most to them. Since I was busy getting ready for the presentation I didn't take much time to reflect on which ones mean the most to me. However, now thinking about it I can say my top 3 are trustworthiness, respect, and caring. 

Trustworthiness: This is important to me because it's what I look for in other people. I want the people I surround myself with to be trustworthy so it makes sense that its a pillar thats important to me.

Respect: Respect is something that I have always valued. I believe in having respect for others and being polite and courteous and everything that falls into being respectful. I consider myself to be a respectful person.

Caring: I always try my best to be caring toward others and I hope for others to be caring towards me. It is important in relationships and everyday life. Its an important pillar.
