VIDEO: A Lesson In Resiliency at Nantucket Elementary

School officials at Nantucket Elementary have produced a short film about the importance of trying your best.

The video begins with a third-grader struggling with questions in a workbook. She falls asleep at the desk, frustrated. A teacher meets with her and shows her disappointment. She meets with a guidance counselor but angrily storms out of the room.

But then the video shows the student finding a book at the school library titled "Building Resiliency." Over time, the girl becomes more confident, and begins studying harder. 

The video ends with her dancing and high-fiving her teacher after a job well done. 

This video, designed to bring a message about resiliency, was posted on Schooltube.com by Todd Stanzione, the guidance counselor at Nantucket Elementary School. He posted it with the caption "A Nantucket Starfish works through a difficult day."
