The concept of resilience in students has been discussed for several decades. Educators, parents and community stakeholders understand the necessity of producing a viable workforce. Throughout a child’s academic discourse students may be exposed to various adversities or setbacks, which threaten their scholastic ability to successfully navigate through the school system. Fostering the characteristics of resilience at an early age empowers students to compete and flourish in school settings. The early development of these characteristics instills hope, self-discipline, and autonomy.
