CHARACTER TRAIT:
Commitment is necessary to be successful at anything, whether it is in school, at a job, at a sport, or in a relationship. As students start to make decisions that can affect their future, they learn to understand that being committed to something is valuable. Breaking one’s commitment, however, can have negative consequences. Learning what one needs to feel valued and appreciated is an important part of commitment, and can help students understand how to do the same for others.
