Growth Mindset Week 6: Learning from Others

 Growth Mindset: Student Thoughts

Growth Mindset Padlet

     “Rain doesn’t always have to weigh us down. Sometimes it can wash off our burdens.” I love this quote. I like how the “Rain doesn’t always have to weight us down …” is in bigger writing. I would be okay if it ended there. Just that part of the quote means so much. The person who wrote it said that it was dorky, but I feel like it is deep. It could mean something different people. If this is kept in mind, every day could be a new adventure.  


·          “Trying Something New.”- I cannot agree with this post more. I have always wanted to learn new skills, even if I cannot use them to further my career or benefit anything. I want to learn hobbies that make me happy. Mental Health is VERY IMPORTANT.

These videos bring a whole new world to kids and some adults who have seen learning or work one way their whole life. She thinks outside of the box and beyond. I would love to take what I have learned from these videos and apply it to the subjects that I am struggling with. If we all keep working at a certain task or subject, I believe that we can all have the "not yet" perspective on life. I was diagnosed with ADD about a year and a half ago. Before transferring to OU, classes were not that difficult for me at previous colleges. When I came to OU, I realized that I do not understand more difficult concepts as fast as everyone else. My short term memory is also lacking and memorization can be tough. But when I look at subjects with a more positive view than the alternative, I tend to ...
