About this episode
Life constantly throws curveballs, challenges, and difficulties at high school students. And, sometimes, they get injured along the way. How do students move ahead without getting bogged down by their injuries? The answer: by embodying perseverance, resilience, fortitude, stamina, and willpower. In a word, they need grit. In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) discusses the importance of grit in high school, college admissions, and life, by using his typical illustrations and stories.
