Growth Mindset Theory Week

Challenge 3:

The student quote I chose was:
POWER THROUGH
Putting your head down and powering through to the end is the best way to accomplish your task. This could apply to work, sports and so on. Always make sure you put your head down and power through whatever obstacle is in your way for you to achieve what you had set out to do: break that wall down!

This has been especially relevant to me as of late. I have allowed obstacles to stand in my way for one reason or another. I am trying hard to remind myself to stay focused on the reasons why I am doing what I'm doing in order to keep myself motivated to finish.

Where did you do your best writing this week — in this class? In another class?  Have you discovered some good strategies for helping yourself focus on writing for this class?     My best writing this week was in my theatre class.  We had to write several pieces and discussion topics. Did you read something excellent written by someone else in the class? What made it stand out to you?       I read several posts from classmates this week and commented on several either for project planning or reading notes they took on books I am not reading for my project.  It's interesting to read about the other options people c...

Taking Stock Week 13

Planning to do the majority of my reading early in this week to leave more of a buffer at the end of the week.  With work taking up more than the usual amount of time this past week, I did not accomplish as much as I had planned.
