I love art, music, dance, or theatre When my friends are upset, I listen to them and comfort them I am interested in all kinds of things I always know what to say to make people feel good I am good at organizing group activities and making them happen I often notice pretty things I stick up for other kids who are being treated unfairly I am excited when I learn something new I speak up for what is right, even when I am afraid I am good at making people laugh Whenever I do When I see something, I put someone being all my effort into it mean to others, I tell them that is wrong I like to think of different ways to solve problems In most social situations, I talk and behave the right way I like to create new or different things When I work in a group, I give an equal chance to everybody When there is a chance to learn new things I actively participate Even when I get really angry, I can control myself I can still be friends with people who were mean to me, if they apologize I often feel that someone "up there" in heaven watches over me When I hear about people who are sick or poor, I worry about them Even when I really want to do something right now, I can wait I know what to do to avoid trouble with others Even when my team is losing, I play fair I always keep my promises I am very enthusiastic Even when I am really good at something, I don't show off about it I am curious about how things work I believe that someone in heaven will guide me to do right thing I find it easy to forgive people I keep at my homework until I am done with it When I see beautiful scenery, I stop and enjoy it for a while I work really well with a group I tell the truth, even if it gets me in trouble Even if I want to say something, I can keep it to myself I can find many things to be thankful for in my life
