One faithful Saturday, Sally-sensei gave us the task of finding characteristics that we should utilize in order to make this program successful. First what we had to do was in our table groups determine our character values. Then as a whole group, we said the words that were discussed in our table groups, and we had MUCH more words than the 12 that are displayed on the website. We decided that there were too any words, so we decided to choose the strongest synonyms of each. It was a two-class process, but in the end, we came up with and try our best to follow these twelve words:

• Open-mindedness
• Respect
• Patience
• Dedication
• Empathy
• Collaboration
• Responsibility
• Honesty
• Curiosity
• Equity
• Communication
• Application
