Mindsets

1. I believe that I have both, a fixed and a growth mindset. For example, there are times when I tend to avoid challenges, because I just don't feel like trying although that is not always the case. The majority of the time I tend to test myself and take on the challenges no mater what the situation is. I also take criticism and use it in a way that benefits myself. There's always time to change yourself for the better.

2. I came into the class knowing it was going to be tough. My growth mindset helped me accept the challenge to prove others wrong. I was going to do more than just try and do the best that I could possibly do. My fixed mindset was also beneficial, because it let me know what I needed to change about myself.

3. I had already been told by past teachers that the brain is a muscle that can be trained. For example, reading is just like a workout that trains your English language, but it's not something that can happen instantaneously. Overtime, changes take place little by little.

4. This piece of information will help me out in the future, because from now on I will continuously remind myself that there is always time to change yourself. It would be a great idea to let others as well know that there is always room for change to build their confidence and hope, because those two things play a major role in a successful life.
