| Description |
This thesis is a Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) that explores the study of resilience and resilience theory through anecdotes. Through a personal anecdote, the theme of resilience will be introduced followed by a general overview of the study of resilience from a historical and multidisciplinary perspective. After an in depth look at the resilience and the resilience theory, I will share my personal experiences at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with a reflection of my own experiences I will examine the principles of resilience theory as a structural guide for general application. My goal in writing this thesis is to, first, demonstrate the relevant nature of the resilience theory in not only strenuous circumstances, but also everyday life. Second, I hope to validate the struggles and difficulties associated with staying physically active in the face of individual, community, and global change. |
