TOP CHARACTER STRENGTHS

BRAVERY - HONESTY - LEADERSHIP

My brother Johnny was a role model for me. He always showed leadership and courage. He knew how to play with me yet also taught me what was wrong and right. He had been through some tough times and passed his lessons on to me as a child. I miss him and my sister, who died seven months after him.Character Strength Story:

LEADERSHIP - Johnny became a leader when he chose to help take care of me and my older brother when both my parents were serving. Then he chose to serve his country, too, at 17 years old.

BRAVERY - My brother always protected me as a kid and watched over me when my mom and dad were in the military. He was very cautious about the things I did.

HONESTY - Johnny always told me to be honest because if not I would get in trouble more.
