The story of Devin Duplessis, a 16-year-old sophomore from New Orleans, parallels the principles of Ecological Resilience Theory. Growing up in a city constantly battling the threat of flooding and climate change, Devin's life mirrors this struggle as he navigates personal challenges in a tumultuous home environment with functional alcoholic parents and racial injustices. Despite these adversities, Devin finds strength in his support system, including his father, mother, grandfather, and bonus mother, who guide him in building resilience. Football becomes his lifeline, a way to rise above the chaos and pursue his dreams. Like an ecosystem adapting to disturbances, Devin's journey exemplifies how personal resilience, much like ecological resilience, enables one to withstand and thrive amidst life's challenges. His story is a testament to the interconnectedness of personal adversity and climate resilience, showcasing the human spirit's ability to adapt and overcome.
