Written scenario · Resilience, Empathy
Permit canceled
You have spent six months organizing a mural project with a group of teenagers at a community youth center.
The teens designed the mural themselves, and painting was set to begin next week on a wall near their school. Today the city told you the permit has been canceled after a neighbor complained, and the decision is final for this year. The teens are crushed, and some are saying adults never follow through.
The two questions
- 1What would you do next?
- 2How do you help others recover from a disappointment that you share?
What raters look for
- Resilience
- Recovers from setbacks, manages stress constructively, and learns from failure.
- Empathy
- Recognizes what others feel and need, and lets that shape the response without losing judgment.
