Resilience

 In health, we have been learning about our areas of well-being and how we could improve on them. The first topic I chose was the resilience topic.

I defined the word resilience and listed some of my risk and protective factors.

What is resilience?

Resilience is the ability to recover from difficult situations, for example; The people of Christchurch were resilient, as they bounced back from the devastating earthquake that occurred in 2011.

When was I resilient?

I was resilient when I was at cross country zones, I was really far behind but I kept going, I ended up passing half of the competitors which was a positive.

Colonel Sanders

Colonel Sanders demonstrated resilience by not giving up even though he was on the edge. Despite being praised by food critic Duncan Hines, his recipe was rejected many times, but he never gave up until he found a business partner.
