Resilience

Resilience is a quality that is highly regarded and necessary in life.  Some of the most successful people in life have been down and had to come back from a low point to become successful.  We would like to reward a person who has demonstrated resilience in life.

Perseverance

Many people give up when times get tough, and perseverance is what separates the successful people from those that aren’t.  Can you continue and power through difficult times when most people would quit?  We want to praise perseverance in a person.

Who is Eligibile

The Bret Talley Comeback Award is available to anyone who has suffered a major setback in their life, and has been able to overcome that setback to get back on the road to success.  Bret believes that everyone deserves a second chance, but it is not always easy for people who have fallen off-track in life.  When someone can get back on the road to success after major setbacks in life, this should be rewarded, because it is not as easy task.  The award is aimed toward students, but anyone who has had a setback in life is able to apply.  Bret would like to reward someone who displays the resilience a perseverance required to make a comeback in life.

Learn About The Award

award

Bret understands the difficulty required to re-start your life when it has gone off-track.  Maybe it was substance abuse issues in the past, or incarceration, or an unhealthy childhood, or any other case that causes people to have setbacks in life, it should be rewarded and celebrated when a person is able to pick up the pieces and move forward towards a life of happiness and success.  Many people do not have the inner-strength to accomplish this, and stay in self-pity, so when there is a strong person that can learn from past mistakes or dilemmas, and move forward with passion, hard work, and self confidence, it is something to look up to and respect.

What Are We Looking For
