We were excited to get back to Boise and give credit where it is due. Kelli and I (Emily) had a great meeting this week with Jennifer Sengelmann, author of Meanings in Motion - character building Life Skills Cards.
These simple cards served as the foundation for our summer curriculum and we were able to implement character development into our program like never before.
Character development is an interesting aspect of the human experience. Different than our natural abilities, personality types and strengths, good character is something that is available to everyone. In an age of color coded personality and DISC testing, it's refreshing to consider that each one of us are able to hone in on character traits that improve ourselves, our communities and the world as a whole - one person at a time. It's not something like being athletic, or musical, or artistic. It's something that doesn't require talent. Good character can be built through effort and self awareness, and that's what we are in business to do.
