The beginning of the school year, I was having a lot of personal issues going on and didn’t know how to handle it myself. Soon, I became frustrated and became even more depressed that I eventually gave up the fight. It was…

Does a student’s attitude play a role in their success in school? According to Andrew J. Martin and Herbert W. Marsh, resilience is a key factor in whether you will not only be more successful in school, but in life after that.
