Lately I’ve been getting invitations to speak to youth about the virtues, so I’ve been trying to recall my own early training on the subject. I grew up in a Lutheran church, and much of who I am can be traced back to second- and third-generation Christian immigrants who believed in using their skills to help people in need. What I learned about the virtues, I learned through doing. In terms of any formal training, however, I remember almost nothing.
