Questions? tmptsa.president@gmail.com
Thank you for helping make Transit a place where our students feel connected, supported, and celebrated!
Curiosity
Why it Matters? Individuals with the character strength of curiosity are more likely to ask questions and try new things
Teamwork
Why it matters? For individuals, teamwork often means deferring or delaying individual accomplishments in order to ensure that the group maintains a high level of success.
Open-Mindedness
Why it matter? People who are open-minded are more likely to make accurate decisions that they won't regret because they think through all sides of a problem.
Other People's Mindset - Being Present and Giving Others My Attention
Why it matters? When you are present and give your attention to others, you are able to build strong relationships.
Integrity
Why it matters? People with integrity practice what they preach and maintain a consistent pattern of behavior that aligns with their values.
Creativity
Why it matters? Creativity has to do with intrinsic motivation — the work is completed to use your talents and potential, not to receive a reward.
