In the following story, explore where their character strengths were demonstrated and helped them to overcome challenges and difficulties.

Simón Bolívar
1783 - 1830
I was born into a wealthy and important Catholic family in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1783. I was given a very long and impressive Spanish name - Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios Ponte y Blanco. However, I became known as Simón Bolívar.

Sadly, my father died when I was three years old, and my mother died six years later. My uncle then became responsible for my care.
