Not every strength a young person has will show up on a report card.
Some students are natural problem-solvers. Some are builders, artists, caregivers, leaders, organizers, listeners, or the kind of person who can figure out how something works just by getting their hands on it.
Those strengths matter too.
School can help young people discover a lot about themselves, but so can work, hobbies, volunteering, sports, creative projects, community involvement, and simply having the chance to try something new.
The more opportunities young people have to explore, the more chances they have to recognize what they are good at and what feels meaningful to them.
Sometimes discovering a strength is the first step toward imagining where it might lead.
