# --description--
The final property for flex items is `align-self`. This property allows you to adjust each item's alignment individually, instead of setting them all at once. This is useful since other common adjustment techniques using the CSS properties `float`, `clear`, and `vertical-align` do not work on flex items.
`align-self` accepts the same values as `align-items` and will override any value set by the `align-items` property.
# --instructions--
Add the CSS property `align-self` to both `#box-1` and `#box-2`. Give `#box-1` a value of `center` and give `#box-2` a value of `flex-end`.
# --hints--
The `#box-1` element should have the `align-self` property set to a value of `center`.
```js
assert($('#box-1').css('align-self') == 'center');
```
The `#box-2` element should have the `align-self` property set to a value of `flex-end`.
```js
assert($('#box-2').css('align-self') == 'flex-end');
```
