Growth Mindset: Learning from Other Students



For this assignment, I thought it would be good to go through the Growth Mindset Padlet full of the advice of other students.




The first one that stuck out to me was this:
I actually really like the rain most of the time, but sometimes even things we love can turn into burdens. It's important to let them wash off of you - you don't have to pretend they're not there or that they're not burdensome, but you don't have to carry them every second of the day.

The other one that stood out to me was this one:
This one stood out to me because I'm graduating and moving forward, and there are a lot of things coming up that I've never encountered before. This one encouraged me to see everything as an opportunity, not a scary decision that has to be made.

Here's my ending image:
Wonder Woman's power pose is a great way to start the day with confidence. It's a reminder that you've got this!

A phrase that I really loved in the beginning of the story that described his happiness all blighted by this one sorrow of being childless:      "A crumpled leaf lay in his bed of roses, and whichever way he turned he felt it, for no child had come to bless his manhood and his whole being yearned for the joy of hearing the name of father fall from baby lips" (page 175). I loved that quote because it was the most poetic and graceful way of showing the sorrow of being childless I had seen out of all of the multiple instances in the stories I've read throughout the semester.  This story was also more poetic than most of the others throughout. It remin...
