1. Why should a high school graduate be required of Certification of Good Moral Character before admitting to college?
Good moral character is not merely a document we require to have because we are applying for a university;
hence, this acts as a record for a student if he or she has outstanding annals or the opposite one. Having a good moral
character in the school we enrolled in is necessary for the requirements to proceed in college, and that's why as early as
now, we should practice good moral character not just because we have to but because it would help us in our future
endeavors.
