9)  The biggest aspect outside of school where I apply growth Mindset concepts is at work. Without continually going outside of my comfort zone to learn new things, I would become stagnant which isn’t not something I want to do. Without continuing to further my own knowledge, I would not be able to teach others anything new. Having a plan and executing it to the best of my abilities helps me stay focused on what I’m trying to accomplish and why.

     I still find navigating through all the different sites a little frustrating because different pieces of information are all in different places. A lot of the bigger projects or assignments don’t sync with Canvas and show on the “to-do” list so it takes some extra work to keep everything organized and finish on time. Having the extra credit available is helpful.  English has always been my strongest subject yet I seem to be struggling with this subject the most this semester.      Just staying organized will help with the rest of the semester as well as taking advantage of any and all extra credit available to make up for missing assignments or missed opportunities.

Getting back on track. Have several essays to work on this week so I’m trying to get some of the smaller tasks, readings and extra credit pieces done earlier in the week to allow for more time to work on the essays when we get back from vacation this weekend.
