Resilient Person Project

1) Let's finish watching.....

And, another resilient role model. A man born without arms and legs. Today he is a youth pastor and an inspirational speaker. He is originally from Australia but now lives in California. Meet Nick Vujicic - you might not always agree exactly with what he is saying, but you will be moved and you will be inspired.

Guess what? He got married and has a kid now... now, that is one resilient guy.

2) Resilience Quiz 

So, how resilient are you? Try this online quiz: http://www.resiliencyquiz.com/index.shtml PRINT your results and put your name on it for course credits!   At the bottom of the page, answer this question:

How would you cope, if at some point in your life you suffer a major setback, like an injury, or major illness? What would you have to do to get you through it all?

3) Resilent Person Project - Now, find your own example of a resilient person - alive or dead. And begin the Resilience Project due next week.

• You will be preparing a project on this person so make sure this is someone who you can find out a lot about. Once you know who you want to work on, give the name to Ms. Colborne. Once that person is taken, no one else can select them! You may use a family member or other trusted adult, if you like.
• Now, go to the RLife project. This is there list of ways to make the world a better place:
