A Season for Being "Resilient"

The CAST 2020-21 Season is titled Resilient. We will be talking a lot about this important skill with students this year. But what does it really mean? How can we become resilient ourselves?

Our great Julian AP Jerome Green directed us to this TEDx gem by Kate Oblie on the internet. Kate Oblie is a smart young woman who has turned her theatre training into a way to inspire others. She talks about breaking down the process of being resilient into 3 simple steps:

  • Understand what you are going through

  • Build up resilience

  • Maintain a healthy mindset because no condition is permanent

She reminds us to inspire others to ACT during this pandemic, meaning:

A = Make only ACTIVE decisions

C = Keep in mind CIRCUMSTANCE. Avoid looking at yourself from an unhealthy perspective

T = Embrace TIME. It will take time to get used to our situation and find real solutions.
