Remember as a kid when you couldn’t score that crucial penalty goal at a football game? Or when your project was not selected for the annual school exhibition? Do you also remember how you coped with each of those times? Whether you sulked in your room for the rest of the week, or put in place a more rigorous training schedule, you inched towards developing coping mechanisms to ride out tough times. Now at college, as you move closer to starting your careers, revisiting some of these experiences from school can bring you a step closer in identifying your ability to be resilient.
