Character Education




What is Character?



“Character cannot be developed on ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
Helen Keller


 Do you have strong character?

 Have you developed these traits?



"I try to remember this quote."
