My Thoughts on Growth Mindset

Image
     Hello again everyone, I'm back with another blog post. I wanted to talk in this blog post about Growth Mindset. Before reading up on the assignment, I actually had heard of Growth Mindset before, but I'm not sure if I'd heard of Professor Carol Dweck. Growth mindset from my understanding is that abilities aren't set in stone, you can grow abilities with enough effort, and that can include intelligence.      I also wanted to talk about how growth and fixed mindset have affected my life personally. So my father is a perfectionist, he loves things to be perfect and I'm not sure if perfectionism can be inherited but I'm a perfectionist too. Growing up in school, my parents taught me that A's are perfection and I needed to achieve A's. I think they set me up for a fixed mindset in regards to school. I know they meant well and they would never intend to cause me stress, but to this day I still stress about grades. Image of Cat Growth Mindset Meme ...
