When you persevere, you don't give up...you keep going. Like a strong ship in a storm, you don't become battered or blown off course. You just ride the waves.

13. He conquers who endures. ~Persius ~

14. To me, perseverance means never giving up and always trying your best . It means never turning down a challenge just because you think it will be too hard or things won’t work out. Be persistent . It does pay off(:

15. If people are showing perseverance, we would hear….  People cheering themselves and others on. People giving themselves praise. People motivating themselves to do things.

You act with integrity when your words and actions match. Integrity gives you self-respect and a peaceful heart.

18. Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. ~William Shakespeare

22. Unity helps us work and live together peacefully. We feel connected with each other and all living things. We value the specialness of each person as a gift, not as a reason to fight or be scared. With unity we accomplish more together than any of one of us could alone Unity(:

23. Unity is the virtue that holds our community , our school , our work place and our hearts together. -Amber Nichol.-

24. Unity, to me, means that everyone comes together as a community . It means not worrying about other peoples hair colour or heritage or skin colour and working as a team for a worthy purpose .

25. If people are showing unity, we would hear….  People inviting others to join in. People encouraging their own and the other team. People giving each other instructions.

28. Aroha is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. ~Robert Heinlein

29. To show aroha you must care for those around you and make sure that they are happy, because if they aren’t, you aren’t.
