Resiliency and the Community

Case Study

Sarah is a 19-year-old who recently moved to a new city to start her college studies. She was excited about this new chapter in her life, but soon faced unexpected challenges. During her first semester, she failed one of her major exams, which made her feel discouraged and question her abilities. On top of this, the city experienced severe flooding, causing her to temporarily lose access to her apartment and disrupting her routine. Sarah felt overwhelmed by these challenges, but she decided to take steps to improve her situation. She talked to her academic advisor, who helped her create a study plan for the next exam. She also joined a study group, which made her feel more connected to her classmates. Despite the flooding, Sarah volunteered to help at a local shelter, assisting others who were affected by the disaster. As time passed, Sarah successfully passed her second round of exams. Her community also showed resilience: local leaders organised clean-up efforts and raised funds to repair homes, while neighbours supported each other by providing food and shelter for those displaced. Through her personal challenges and her involvement in the community response to the flood, Sarah learned the importance of staying positive and asking for help when needed. She realised that resilience is not just about “toughing it out,” but about taking practical steps and leaning on others for support.
