You have been chosen as the Champions of Character representative for Responsibility because you have demonstrated that quality in your life.

How do you think you learned to be a responsible person?
Being on a competitive soccer team really helped me learn this because I had to pour all my extra energy into the soccer team. This forced me to be organized and responsible with my time so I could fit it all into my daily schedule.

What are some responsibilities you have as a student?
Going to all my classes, doing my homework, and getting assignments from progessors BEFORE I leave town for soccer games

As an athlete?
Going to practice and giving 100%, being on time and being prepared for each practice, and communicating well with my teammates and coaches

As a friend?
Communicating with them and putting their needs before mine

What helps you to make sure you fulfill all of your responsibilities?
My planner! It helps me to keep track of all the things I need to do each day so that I don’t forget anything. Sometimes I have others hold me accountable to the things I am supposed to do.

Have you ever neglected any of your responsibilities?
A few times.

What happened?
I was late to practice one time, and I had to clean everyone’s shoes for that whole week of practice and vacuum the locker room!
