For a high school student flexibility and adaptability skills. When working  in group, some  members might not do their work so a student should be able to figure how to finish a project on time. A student can also learn to adapt better if they stay calm when they reach issues. Another way students can display their flexibility and adaptability is by their priorities when important things arise.
