Gettin' Ziggy With It

http://growthmindsetmemes.blogspot.com/2014/08/random-growth-mindset-cats.html I chose this cat image because I believe that practice makes perfect. Even more perfect practice makes perfect. Everytime you put time into something you gain experience or knowledge.  http://growthmindsetmemes.blogspot.com/2014/08/random-growth-mindset-cats.html I believe that life is like a ride. And yes you do have to enjoy it.  http://growthmindsetmemes.blogspot.com/2014/08/random-growth-mindset-cats.html I recently took a path that was not popular among my family and I am so excited that I made that decision. 

I started to realize my capstone professor kept using the term "growth mindset" a lot in class discussions and in different slides he would show us. I asked him if he used the same source as we have been using in this class all semester and he said yes! He is starting to prepare us for the real world and giving us tips on how to be successful and a lot of his ideas come from growth mindset. It is all about learning new things and chasing your dreams. Not getting down on yourself and learning from your mistakes. I thought "how great is that all these classes are tying in together and trying there best to help us as students be as successful as possible and providing us the knowledge and resources to do so".

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

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 ab...
