The knowledge we gather through experience develops and enhances our character. Our character is uplifted when we pursue tasks that increase knowledge. The character is crafted and garnered when the child is given the room to experience life and learn from mistakes. Once knowledge is acquired by a child or a youth, they embed it into their character—either consciously or unconsciously. The knowledge that is acquired and the character that is developed give the child and the youth the direction to take action and make worthwhile decisions.
