Growth Mindset: Fostering a Growth Mindset


(Growth 
7mindsets)


This will be my last growth mindset! I can't believe how quickly this class went by. Although there is still one more month till finals, time is running out! Today, I read A Growth Mindset Fuels Creativity in Youth. I read this article because the article had ways to develop a growth mindset. The tips are:

1. "I see connections."
2. "I am open to new ideas."
3. "I bow to my mistakes."
4. "I embrace diversity."
5. "I live in a human-virtual world."

These are great reminders to motivate yourself through the day. I especially love number 3. Accepting my mistakes and moving on is something I struggle with. So, this is definitely one I will use. From reading past articles about the growth mindset, I knew the benefits of having a growth mindset. More opportunities and meaningful growth are some of the most noticeable results. Like I have mentioned before, I will continue to improve my way of thinking with the tips I have learned throughout the course!

    Hi Avani! Congrats on this being your last Growth Mindset! It sounds like you're really close to finishing this class which is awesome! I love all of the tips you've mentioned from this article. I also really like #3. I think it's hard to learn from your mistakes and I also struggle to move on from them. However, moving on is also very stress-relieving.

Introduction to a Physician Assistant

Hi everyone! My name is Avani Patel, and I am a sophomore. I am majoring in Biology with the hopes of becoming a Physician Assistant.  I choose Biology as my major especially because of its versatility and because of my interest in the sciences. With Biology, I am able to learn the traditional side of the science, and the major itself is incredibly rigorous as it entails complex material and courses. Becoming a Physician Assistant is my goal, but I am still hesitant and unsure. As you can see, I am indecisive. Although this is the case, I am a very diligent student once I set my mind to something. This last year I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA and obtain junior standing! In my free time, I love watching movies and sleeping! Netflix is something I am always on. My favorite shows right now are Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj. This summer, I was able to do both - watch movies and sleep! My family and I also went to Texas, Arkansas, a

Week 7 Story: The Rice and The Man

( The Broken Pot by John D. Batten) The updated version of the story is here on my Portfolio! In a small village in Gujarat, India, there lived a man named Vittap. His name evidently signified his behavior; he guarded his wealth closely.  One day, Vittap had gathered a surplus amount of rice grains from working in his neighbor's fields and begging in the village. Growing rice was no easy task. After eating the rice that same evening, Vittap put the remaining rice in a pot. The pot was hung over his couch so that he could bathe in its glory.  As Vittap became drowsy, he dreamed about his future with the rice. He thought, "My beautiful rice. Oh, how beautiful! If there is a famine, I will always have my rice. Wait, can the rice not make me some profit?" "I can buy a few goats with the rice and eventually have a family of goats!" "I can then sell the goats, and get a couple of cows!" "I can then sell cow milk and purc
