 Being Responsible
Let’s Take the Test
• Do I take good care of my own things?
• Do I own up when I know I did something wrong?
• Do I finish a job once I’ve started it?
• Am I extra careful with things that don’t belong to me?
• Do I do my homework?
• Do I get to school on time?
Being Responsible
• If I make a promise, do I keep it?

room for improvement.
• 5 or 6 out of 7 ~ You’re pretty responsible.
