During the party，I went to the bathroom．I was still sitting down when the girl walked in．“You（2）               （stay）here too long!”

Character（品质），courage and confidence are words you might use to describe your heroes．These words can describe you! Take action as follows and you'll be a hero，too!

Part l：Character

Character is something that makes you the person you are—like being honest，friendly，and helpful．See the chart（表格）below．On the left is our standard of good character．Write down your promise for each line on the right．Then，get a witness（证人）to sign it．Put it up where you'll see it every day and do your best to keep it．

Part 2：Courage

Of course it's going to take a lot of courage to keep your promise．Courage is challenging yourself to do something even though you think it might be hard．For each promise，find out two or three ways to help you keep it．For example，if you think that Being Honest is the hardest promise for you to keep，one of the ways might be “Tell people about my promise so that I won't break it”．

Part 3：Confidence

Confidence is believing that you have the skills to do something．Do you have a beautiful singing voice? Are you a good painter? These are all talents that can make you feel good，as well as the people around you．Once you've decided what your special skill is，think about how you can use your skill to make your corner of the world a better place．If you're good at art，try painting a picture on an old wall in your school（of course，make sure you're allowed）．
