Take one minute to think about what Sara’s Coach says in the quote below.

Is having character simply about doing the right thing at the right time?

In the video we learn that the girls that helped sara lost the game 4-2. Their team would have won if they had not have helped sara. They helped sara, even though she could do nothing for them. ��Discuss with your partner about a time when you did something for another person, even when that person could do nothing for you in return. �(Each partner should get about 30 seconds) ��
