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

Ada Lovelace

1815 - 1852

My father was Lord Byron, the celebrated, unpredictable and rather scandalous poet. However, I never knew him. He left me and my mother, Annabella, when I was just a baby. My upbringing was quite unique. This was in part due to the fact that my mother had received much tuition in mathematics. In fact, my father even called her the ‘Princess of Parallelograms.’ Mother wanted me to have a sound education. She was of the view that the mind needed to be trained regardless of gender. In fact, she insisted a girl should learn self-discipline in study and find an inner motivation to achieve. I think she had grand plans for me, and why not!
