Definitions of Class Names

I've had the experience of children asking me what the various class names mean, and some children gave their own meaning to the class names. For instance, children from Conscientious classes thought that 'conscientious' means 'clever'.

So that inspired me to provide definitions of the class names:

Persistence - the act of continuing to do something, although it is difficult.
Conscientious - showing a lot of care and attention (to work).
Commitment - the hard work and loyalty that one gives to an organisation or activity.
Creative - producing or using new and effective ideas.
Determination - the ability to continue trying to achieve what you have decided to do even when this is difficult.
Diligence - hardworking, careful and thorough.
Innovation - a new idea, method or invention.
Inspiration - to make someone feel encouraged to be as good and successful as possible.
Reliable - can be trusted or depended on.

Do enlighten your friends if they do not know what their class names mean. :)

Have fun!
