Resilience is one of those characteristics that is incredibly useful in the personal and professional sphere, now and in the future. 

Courtesy of Covid-19, subsequent lock downs and the sudden move from in person to remote learning, the resilience of students has been evident. Couple that with the A-Level (and potentially GCSE) results fiasco and well, the word "resilience" comes into play again.
