Helpful information to identify resilient and non-resilient

students.
1. Resilient' students often celebrate/talk about their
accomplishments and personal achievements and will
show a general sense of being proud of what they have
done. On the other hand "non-resilient" students will tend
not to exhibit these attributes/feelings.
2. Resilient students often show and talk about their sense
of connectedness to people/groups and the broader
community, on the other hand non-resilient students tend
not to do this.
3. Resilient students have a positive outlook for their lives
and have a solid idea of where they are headed in the
future. Non-resilient students tend to have a gloomy
outlook and dont really hold a sense of direction for their
lives.
