My Growth Mindset Thoughts

From what I can remember, this is the first I have heard of Carol Dweck and the Growth Mindset. When I started my college career I knew I was going to have to work hard, and with that would come growth. However, junior year I fell out of that "growth mindset" and just went through the motions. Eventually, I realized what I was doing and had a change of mind. I was reminded of how fortunate I am to have the opportunity to attend college. Since then I have been putting in a lot more effort into my studies and taking advantage of all my opportunities, academically and socially.

I enjoyed learning about the growth mindset and would like to continue to learning more about t and applying it to my life. This semester I am taking classing I am really interested in such as Pathogenic Microbiology and Neurobiology. I want to take advantage of those experiences and really get to know my professors. I plan on having a growth mindset this year so that I can make the most out of my last 9 months of college!

Week 10/11 Story: The Plagues of the Plains People

Image
It was a time when men were plentiful and the plain's creatures grew abundantly. However, the leader of the Plains Tribe, Eagle, was oppressing many people of the nearby Mountain tribe. The Mountain tribe were good people, who listened and worshiped the Raven, unlike the majority of the Plain's people. The Raven heard of this enslavement and was angered. He went to Eagle's oldest son, Arrow, and said, "You must convince your father to let the people of the mountains leave his reign. He will refuse, so I will bring down my fist on the Plains people. Then I will rescue the mountain people, and all will know I am the creator and true leader." Arrow did as the Raven commanded of him. Eagle's heart was hardened and he refused to listen to the Raven's threats. Then the Raven appeared to Arrow, "Your father's heart is stubborn and he is refusing to let the mountain people go. So go to him and tomorrow and watch him as he witnesses my first curse on the...
