Week 1: Growth Mindset

I have heard of Carol Dweck and growth mindset from taking Laura's Mythology and Folklore class in Fall 2015.

I am a perfectionist, so I think that I am very much on the spectrum of growth-fixed mindset in my school work, professional life, and in my hobbies. I am always trying to improve and to be the best that I can possibly be.

This is especially true when it comes to writing. I am a professional writing major and I write novels. I am always trying to be the best author and write the best book. I am constantly pushing my limits and striving to improve.

I have a lot of reading this semester in all my classes, so my goals are to try to take the time to get as much as I can out of what I read. Sometimes I rush reading materials and I do not experience it to its fullest. So I'm going to try to improve my reading. Additionally, I want to write the best stories that I can for the Storytelling posts and my Storybook project.

I look forward to applying the growth mindset to the work in this class, other classes, and in my life outside of school!
