Growing in Character
You have been recommended to participate in the York County Junior Honors Choir because of your musical abilities and
artistic creativity, as well as your character. Character is a set of behavior traits that define what sort of person you are.
These are the personality traits that a member of the Junior Honors Choir will be expected to practice. Much of a person's
success in achieving important goals in life is directly connected to character traits.
How you act toward other people often determines their desire to deal with you. If you show that you are an honest
person with a great amount of integrity, others will trust you. People like to associate with those they feel are reliable and
responsible. Your willingness to be compatible, self-controlled, adaptable, careful, patient, humble and helpful, signal
to your peers that you are willing to place others before yourself. Taking the initiative to come to rehearsal prepared,
creates an atmosphere of teamwork and dedication to a common goal.
These character traits mentioned above are not an exhaustive list. However, they are some of the ingredients that make
for a strong leader. Leadership is not always easy. It takes courage to stand alone and do what is right, perseverance in
the midst of a challenge, and resilience when you have been pushed down over and over.
I have read the character traits listed above. I understand that I am expected to conduct myself in the best interest of those
around me. It is my desire to be a person who will make a positive contribution to society, and specifically the York
County Junior Honors Choir. I agree to represent my school district in the best way possible. I also understand that if my
behavior is not in line with the character traits listed above, I may be asked to resign from the Choir.
