Teen Stories to Build Resilience – CLICK TO COMMENT

By Evelyn Antebi  I committed myself to save up my money to buy big things instead of little things. I wanted to buy a laptop. So, every day I tried to spend my money wisely. But, one day walked into a store bought something small. Then, I walked into another store and another and just kept buying. By the time I got home I spent all my money. I though that by now I should have given up. But, I really wanted that laptop. So, I kept on trying and trying. Later that week, I went back to the mall. I walked back into the stores and held myself back. I came home that day and only spent a few dollars on a drink. I was proud of myself, which build up confidence. By the end of that month, I had enough money to buy my laptop.
