The study of character is a subject that is relevant for Adventist educators, because from now on it is the subject in which the curriculum guidelines of the various educational training programs are developed and constructed at the levels of formation. In order to have a clear direction regarding the character and its scope and implications, it is important to develop a qualitative approach research study, with a juxtaposed design of emergent and narrative based theory, to know the thoughts of Ellen G.
