situations or relationships even when we have been wrong; following the standards of good character
during good as well as difficult times;being a source of stability and dependability to others when they
are in need of our help and strength; and

behavior, we as citizens individually and collectively can show genuine interest in one another, can
build bridges that hold our community together and allow individuals to relate positively, can discover
the needs of others, can show gratefulness when our own needs are met, and can honestly reciprocate
in helping one another as we move boldly yet patiently into our emerging future as a Culture of
Excellence.
