Seradio: What Makes A Good Character So Important In Life?

Why is a good character so important in life? Good character makes everything in life so much easier. Just imagine going through life the best you could plus a smile. Having a good character can encourage others to do the same. A perfect example is how Radio inspired Johnny. Radio was nothing but nice to everyone even though they weren't so nice to him. If anything they treated him like garbage. Yet he was nothing but nice to Johnny. Johnny finally realized that Radio wasn't doing anyone any harm if anything he made it better. Being kind to people and having a great attitude can really make a difference. You just need a little patience and have an open mind.
There were some good and bad examples of character in the movie ¨Radio¨ The 6 traits (Caring, Respect, Fairness, Citizenship, Responsibility, and Trustworthiness) were shown
throughout the movie numerous times. A good example of caring would just be Coach Jones. Throughout the entire movie, he showed nothing but kindness and caring for Radio. He treated him like he was his own son. A good example of respect would be the entire school of Hanna.
More towards the middle to end of the movie all of the students at Hanna welcomed Radio, they respected him. They treated him just as they did with anyone else but a little kinder. Which also goes hand and hand with fairness. Now, in the beginning, they weren't very fair. A perfect example of that would be when Johnny and some of his friends tied Radio up and put him in that shed and threw footballs at him. He was scared out of his mind.
Citizenship is the one that was seen the least. But one good example is when Coach Jones had always done what was needed for his school community. He was the football coach and he did what was necessary for his team. Being a good citizen and going out of his way for Radio. But then he finally realized that he did so much for the school he didn't have any time for his family. Radio´s mother showed a great deal of responsibility. She was a single mother, working two jobs with a mentally challenged son. She tried her best to do what was right for Radio. It was hard for her to do it all by herself since her husband had died when Radio was
young.
A good example of trustworthiness would be in the beginning when Coach Jones first met Radio. Whenever Radio was locked in the shed and they were throwing footballs at it, and Coach Jones came in and tried to untie Radio. He had to trust the Coach enough for him to stop moving around for him to cut him free.
Radios good character improved throughout the movie. He was a caring guy, to begin with, but the more he interacted with people the better his character got. He was trustworthy whenever Johnny tricked him into going into the girl's bathroom and yet Radio didn't sell him out.
My personal character traits can hurt and help me grow personally. No one is perfect really. So everyone has traits they have that can help them grow then some not has good traits. I like to be positive all the time or in other words, I'm optimistic. I like to go about my day as happy as possible. Me being happy all the time makes everything so much easier. I notice a lot when I'm just being myself, I actually make other people happy because I am. I also naturally have a caring personality. Then again on the not so good side. I have a major problem with my anxiety. It's so terrible, sometimes when I do things on my own I´m okay. But other times I just freeze up and my heart starts beating fast and it's like I can't breathe. That often makes me scared to do things. Which affects my personal growth, but I am working on it.
