Growing my mind with GrowMindset

This is the first time I have ever heard of growth mindset or Dr.  Dweck. A lot of what she talks about I feel like I can relate to. There was a lot of times in High School where I certainly did not feel challenged at all and felt like as soon as I got to OU that it was almost a culture shock in school. I had to adapt to finally being challenged (and learned what real homework was like). I'm excited to learn more about growth mindset. I played baseball growing up and for year into college so I enjoy challenging my self and realizing you have to put in the effort to what you want out of things. There are times I can get a bit lazy especially in other classes so I hope that this will help me see things in a new light and really put a perspective on the importance of mind. I took this class because it is completely out of my comfort zone and I wanted to challenge my self while feeling anxious. Little did I know I was going to be learning more than mythology and folklore.

Its all about taking risks!

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo

Reading Notes, English tales: Three Little Pigs

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan.  I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting.  Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf
