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!

An introduction to me... Zack Ziegenhorn

Hello Everybody! My name is Zack Ziegenhorn, but most everyone I know calls me Zig for short. Its much easier to remember than Zack and MUCH easier to spell than Ziegenhorn. (lol) I am from Tulsa, OK and I am a senior Communication major. I went to Tulsa Union High School where I played baseball. I continued my baseball career for one year in college at Seminole State College but had to cut my baseball career short due to nagging injuries 😡. I came to OU in 2013 because I have been Sooner born and Sooner bred. I have been a huge OU fan my entire life and was so excited to get the opportunity to attend this University. Obviously I am a huge sports fan and love football, baseball, basketball, and golf. My favorite teams are OU, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thunder up!! I enjoy going to the lake over the summer and getting on the boat and just having a great time with friends and ...

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
