the focus for this activity will be explaining resilience using both this week’s reading and your own thoughts on the topic.  it will add a great deal of value if you give examples of areas where you have engaged resilience in your own life to overcome an obstacle or personal tragedy. 

• prepare to discuss the concept of resilience both from a definitional and personal perspective and be prepared to give a personal example (or an example from someone you know who has overcome a personal challenge). ensure the following points are addressed:

• • what is resilience (definition)? list the <em>best definition</em> of resilience that you have found and reference where you found it.
  • describe resilience in your own words.
  • give a personal example of resilience (or an example of someone you know who has overcome adversity).
  • please only share an example or examples that you are comfortable sharing with the group for the purposes of providing perspective to our discussion.  do not share anything that is overly personal that you do not wish to engage in the forum.

support your work with scholarly academic resources, textbooks, or other sources provided.  quoting or paraphrasing from any source in discussion posts requires apa format by including an in-text citation and listing the reference at the end of the post.
