Author Alexandrea Sims has written this book especially for young people and their adult leaders, to remind readers that the only person you need to be better than is the person you were yesterday; and that the only way you can reach your full potential and become everything you were born to be is to be a person of character.Using C.H.A.R.A.C.T.E.R. as an acronym, Ms. Sims illuminates Clarity, Honesty, Anti-Bullying, Responsibility, Addiction Prevention, Consistency, Thwarting Suicide, Excellence, and Resiliency. With humor, personal experiences and inspirational stories, Alexandrea teaches that the truth of our character is expressed through the choice of our actions; personality is exposed when a person is up - character is exposed when a person is down; people with good intentions make promises - people with good character keep them; people with respect do the right thing because others expect it - people with character do the right thing because it's demanded of themselves.
