RESILIENCY PROGRAM, COALINGA HIGH SCHOOL

On March 2, 2011, We had our first Resiliency presentation.  The student were very receptive.  The were very engaged.  Most of the students had input and questions.  We spoke for over an hour.  We held our first introductions of the program.  The students do appear to have a grasp as to what is education.  When it comes to understanding the "why" education question, the answers are harder to come.  They seem to generate generic questions, but applying them to their natural environments and their future seem to be somewhat foreign.  We will continue to develop this areas.  The students displayed lots of passion and expressed high hopes for what the future holds for them.  We touched on the importance of failure and the lessons we can gain from it.  The teacher expressed a personal story of her struggles and how she overcame her stressors.  A special thanks to the teacher, mentor and especially the students.  To be continued!!!
