Being a person of character means having patience, gentleness and being honest.
(1) One way that I am patient is to stop and think before I react to something that upsets me. For example, if a child speaks disrespectfully to me, I need to remember that children are still learning respect. This helps me to not get angry, but teach respect calmly.
(2)Another character trait I try to show is gentleness. One way I show this is in referring to people as honey or dear, sometimes even "girly". By using these gently words I show I care for the person I am speaking to.
(3) Finally I show good character by being honest. I saw a good example of this in class today. Even when a group of boys were caught talking and could of lied about it, they chose to be honest and 'fess up. This showed me they had good character.
There are so many more traits of good character I am trying to show each day I teach you "lovelies".

I think being a good person is truthful, joyful, and good.
(1) One way I am truthful is when some one tells me a secret I always keep it to my self.
(2) Another one is I try to be joyful when someone tells me a joke and I don’t like it I say that it was a pretty good joke and say I have to go.
(3) Finally I am good like when a adult tell me to pick something I pick it up or tells me to clean up something I pick it up and that is good.

I think being a person of character is to be caring,kind and peacful.
(1) Caring means that you pay specail attention, like I care about my family.
(2) Kind means that you have a good nature, you use kind words, or your helpful.
(3) Peaeful means you dont argue and your calm. When ever my sister and I or someone else dissagree i try not to argue and instead just try to agree on something.

Being a person of character means being patient, gentle, and joyful.
(1) How I am patient is that I always wait until there are not very many people in line or until is it my turn. Also I am patient because I never try to be the first at anything, I always wait.
(2) Another thing about me is that I am very gentle. If somebody gets hurt really badly I will be gentle by not hurting them any more.
(3) I am also very joyful. How I am joyful is that I always have a smile on my face and that I try to get people happy and jumping and playing.
I do think that those three describing words, (patient, gentle, joyful) really show what good of a person I am.

Patient means that when someone is taking a long time and you have to wait for them. Kind is when you are always nice to you.
Forgiving is when someone did something wrong .

Being a person of character means binging loving, caring and forgiving. One way I am loving is that I am willing to do any thing for any one I know. One way I am caring is that I care for everyone in my family. I am also forgiving one way I am forgiving is that I always forgive my friends and family when they hurt my feelers.

My words are, patient, good, and careful.
(1) I think patient is a word of character. For example; I once waited for other people to get their laptops. (2) Good is another word. Another example is, I was good all weekend for my mother. Also I think careful is a good word. For another example, I am very very careful with the laptops. These are all my words of character.

(1) Also to be kind you should share and you should be nice to them.
You should always make sure that if you and your friend are doing something
They both want to do.
(2) Now I am going to talk about being respectful you should care for
There personality not for what they look like.

Honest I am honest by telling the truth. I also am honest by if I find something I give it back.

Being a great character is some one who is some one who is respectful, some one you can trust, and honest
[1] I think a good character is a person who is respectful to others and cares because caring is sharing.
[2] Another good character is a person who treats others nice and that other person is going to treat them nice.
[3] Another good character is some one who is honest because you can trust that person and could have a good relation ship with that person.
I just told you about a grate way to respect other people and your parents.

Me being a person of character I am truthful, forgiving, and joyful.
1) First of all, when someone wants me to tell a lie, or I am tempted to myself, I stay truthful.
2) Secondly, I am forgiving to people-even when they are not sorry. For example, when someone gossips about me or lies to me, I forgive them-eventually.
3) Finally, It is very rare to see me not joyful. If I don’t show it, I feel it inside! Like, once I could not sleep until late, but in the morning I wasn’t tired. I’m trying to be truthful, forgiving, and joyful each day.

Being a person of character means being forgiving, gentle and peaceful. A way someone can be forgiving is to forgive someone for eating your homework that would be for the final part of your grade. A way I can be gentle is to not pose to hard on a cast if I’m writing on it. A way someone can be peaceful is to not get angry when there siblings put whip cream on your face when you are sleeping. In this paragraph I told you about how you can be forgiving, gentle and peaceful.

As a person Character means having, kindness, truthful, and caring ness.
(1) Being kind is like when theirs only enough ice cream fore one person and you let someone else have it. Or if someone else stands on a bus and you let them sit in your spot. (2) When a friend, you should always be truthful. Like when someone is talking behind your friends back to you, well tell them. Or if you did something bad to them ,tell them.(3) To be caring is easy but, nice. If a friends family member dies comfort, them. Or if they broke there leg, help kiering there bags. That is some nice things I do to help.

Honest being honest is to tell the truth all the time. For example: if you see someone drop their cell phone and you pick it up and give it to them that’s being honest. Respect is when you respect other people stuff example: if I see a really cool pencil and I ask before I use it that is respect.

What is a good character? A good character is some one who cares for you. And who loves you and who even wants to be part of your life. A character is some one who is good and faithful and gentle.

Being a person of character is being kind, funny, and merciful.
One way I am kind is I offer to put in a movie when my parents are busy. Another is I open doors for people. Being kind means you do this often.
Another one is being funny. There are lots of ways I am funny like telling weird jokes that don’t make sense. I can do funny tricks and make up silly names for them.
Sometimes I can be merciful, by not making a big deal when people cut me in line. When my brother hits me I say “That’s ok”, and walk away. And sometimes when my dad tells me to clean my room I just do it.
