After coming in 3rd place, he worked hard and the following year, he got in the 1st place. Each time he faced a challenge or difficult situation, he was positive and picked himself up again and made an impact in other ways that he could such as the time when he had a heel injury. ]]> 2018-07-25 02:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271043547 https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271043549 Mr Kunalan is resilient because he would often train even after a long day at work and only took short breaks. Moreover, he did not own a pair of spike shoes.

He remained friends with Dr Jega despite having lost to him in the Asian Games in 1966.

In lines 45 to 47, it is stated that he trained barefoot because he did not have proper running shoes to wear. From what we know, a person who does his best to overcome a challenge even though he may face difficulties in doing so, is a resilient person.]]> 2018-07-25 02:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271049606 https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271049623 Mr K is fearless because even though he faced top athletes, he did not back down from running the race. There was a lot of responsibility on his shoulders as his family, his coach and fans were looking up to him so he fearlessly ran in the race even though it would have been very nerve-wrecking.

Based on Pair 9's feedback and after consulting the dictionary, the definition of resilience is the ability of people to feel better after something unpleasant or to show toughness. ]]> 2018-07-25 02:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271049765 https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271050362 We think Mr K is determined because even though he started out late, he still persevered and trained for competitions, sometimes after a long day of work. As compared to Jega who had gone to the Rome Olympics @ 16 years old, Mr K only started competitive running when he was at 21 years old. This shows that Jega had 5 years more experience than Mr K. That's why he showed determination to be able to compete with Jega on the same stage.]]> 2018-07-25 02:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271050362 https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271050417 We would like to keep to Post #1 because the examples quoted demonstrated the most important quality.]]> 2018-07-25 02:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pauline_quek1/n5wrpd04yuty/wish/271050417
