## Description
<section id='description'>
The final property for flex items is <code>align-self</code>. 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 <code>float</code>, <code>clear</code>, and <code>vertical-align</code> do not work on flex items.
<code>align-self</code> accepts the same values as <code>align-items</code> and will override any value set by the <code>align-items</code> property.

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Add the CSS property <code>align-self</code> to both <code>#box-1</code> and <code>#box-2</code>. Give <code>#box-1</code> a value of center and give <code>#box-2</code> a value of flex-end.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: The <code>#box-1</code> element should have the <code>align-self</code> property set to a value of center.
    testString: assert($('#box-1').css('align-self') == 'center', 'The <code>#box-1</code> element should have the <code>align-self</code> property set to a value of center.');
  - text: The <code>#box-2</code> element should have the <code>align-self</code> property set to a value of flex-end.
    testString: assert($('#box-2').css('align-self') == 'flex-end', 'The <code>#box-2</code> element should have the <code>align-self</code> property set to a value of flex-end.');
