Devin - Resilient
Resilience is an important characteristic for people who lead social change. I think that to be resilient you have to be brave, strong and courageous. I think being resilient is important because in the umbrella of resilience, you have to be brave and courageous all connecting to resilient. Jackie Robinson and me show resilience in our lives to show change around the world.
Jackie Robinson shows that anyone can be resilient. In the text, Promises to Keep by, Sharon Robinson, it says, “Despite the threats on his life and the weight of the people on his shoulders. Dad completed his first year with the Montreal Royals as the most valuable player.” Even though Jackie Robinson was having death threats sent to his home, he still went out to the field to play baseball. In the text it says, “Threatening letters were mailed to our home.” Having resilience to get through all by I believe that he would have talked to his wife about the death threats and how he persevered through all of the death threats so he could continue doing what he loves. Something that Jackie Robinson changed used resilience to change the minds and feelings of the people that either didn’t believe in Jackie or, the racial feelings of other races.
I see this quality in myself because I get through tough times in my life even when it is hard, such as my parents getting divorced. When my parents got divorced, it was the biggest dark cloud of my life, it felt like my world was falling apart. I used resilience to get through it. I had to talk to my parents about how I felt about my emotions. I can bring change because I can tell people about using resilience to help with their emotions or something they are struggling with by talking to someone or a group of people that are struggling.
While creating my yard sign for the 5th grade Campaign for Leadership, I had to make several design choices. My font is eater. I chose this font because I think it represents resilience because, sometimes having trouble in your life is spikey and sometimes it can be hard. I also think that the spikes on my letters are like mountains and valleys, with high points and down points in life. I think it will tell the audience that having troubles in your life isn’t all that bad. I think what people need to do is talk to someone who knows what they are struggling with, and to know that everyday has different outcomes to life. I chose dark grey because I think it is a dark cloud when we have troubles in our lives but one day the sun will come out and shine over the dark cloud and will push it away.
Resilience is an important characteristics to people's emotions and life, that connects to leaders of social change. This quality is important because in life you need to be brave and show perseverance so you can be resilient. In life you need to be resilient because if something happens in your life it can help people around the world stay determined to still have enough determination to get through the day they are struggling with. Leaders of social change use resilience to help people change the way people control their emotions and feel a different vibe in the world. This matters because resilience is very important to people who are struggling in their life or something bad has happened in their life.
