I think the necessary character traits to succeed in high school need to be to just be yourself. Don't try and be someone you are not. If you try too hard it's going to be hard to make true friends. Another trait is to be humorous. When you are funny people tend to come to you. I know that if one of my friends are funny I will most likely be hanging out with them.
Other traits you might need to have would be honesty, trustworthy and dedicated. When you have friends they need you to be honest and trustworthy. When it comes to your work you need to be dedicated to making good grades and have the focus and drive to want to do good. Most first time freshman don't like to do their work and like to goof off. They will regret it in the end.
I will help foster these to my freshman by just setting an example. When report card time comes around I will try and tell them what my grades were so that I can set a good example. They might think that I am rubbing it in their face but I will just be trying to help them out. Another thing that I will do would be to help them all that I can so that they will get used to getting good grades. In the end I know they will be happy that I helped them.
