re·sil·ience: ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity,or the like; buoyancy.
Things are winding down for me here at KIPP and it has been a really enjoyable time. I appreciate the leadership staff here giving me the opportunity to work with the students and implement my leadership program. My involvement in being a part of the enrichment and discipline committee has been quite a rewarding one. My focus for the home stretch with my students is to prepare and train them on how to finish strong. Resiliency is a characteristic that not only these students need strengthening but people in general. Many times our own lack of confidence as well as not having a resilient attitude can be debilitating and hinder us from reaching our goals. I feel as though I am able to relate to the kids in reference to this because I have struggled with this in the past and have discovered some really positive ways to deal with these issues. There is no doubt in my mind that all of my kids will successfully transition out of this program on to the next level. With only a few weeks left in the school year there is going to be a lot I have to cram in the schedule but we will and must get it done.
