The thing that separate Michael Jordan from the other basketball player is his effort and practice. He live for it. Even thought he was kick out from his high school team. He didn't give up on basketball. Michael Jordan became a legend.
Final Reflection:
If i could be a genius in anything, it will be in cooking. I love food, who doesn't. What's stoping me is don't have time to practice to cook. You got to put effort in it.

Staking Our Claims
Quick Write:
One strong opinion that I personally formed about mindset is that changing mindset will change your attitude toward things. I believe that because when i change you change your mindset you will put in effort. A example is when you don't want to do something like your homework and then you change your mind and do it. You are changing your attitude about it, and your mindset as well.
Reflection:
My claim matters because you learn from your mistakes. Failure doesn't define you. Take control of it.

Deconstructing a Mindset Experiment
Quick Write:
I do believe that changing my mindset will change my grades for the better. I started the 1st marking period late and I didn't want to complete the missing blog. I had a fixed mindset on that. But I decided to do my blogs, I change my mindset to a growth mindset, and my grade when up. I didn't give up, I accomplish it.
Classwork:

Final Reflection:
The findings is believable I agree. It shows how they didn't give up. I can envision just by knowing about mindsets. Fixed mindset don't put in no effort, but growth mindset do. It changes your attitude toward learning.

Project and final project review
Summary:
It's all about fixed mindset and growth mindset on different topics. And how you could be a little bit of both in a topic. Some people think that being successful is about learning, while some think that is when you are proving you are smart. It show examples of when kids master a puzzle. And want to get a difficult one, while some just want to keep on doing the same one they master. Depression is different on both mindsets. Fixed mindset will just stop trying. Growth mindset will work even more hard to accomplish what they was struggling with. Fixed mindset will want to be with someone who worship him and they do not confront their problems. But growth mindset will confront their problems. When some people become a boss. They treat others wrong, they won't be humble. They forget where they started at. Some people think that a test score tells how smart you are. Fixed mindset will think they better than others, and that they are born talent. Growth mindset knows that it's by learning experiences. Try your all. One think I like that was written in the chapter is: You don't want to look back and say "I could have been". You want to say "I gave it my all for the things I valued. Some people say that effort is the key to success. But don't do it, they show no action. It's one thing to say and a other to do it.
Review #1:
I took the English regent for the first time and I failed. I was so mad at myself for not passing it. But then I saw that my friends didn't pass it either. And then I started not to care. While taking the test I thought that I will pass it. But I thought wrong. I was nervous while taking it. I wanted to complete all sessions. I was paying attention to the time more than my test. Always looking at how many minutes I had left for the session. Even though my teacher said that he will let us know when we got 10 minute left. I still was looking at the clock. I didn't want to take it again because I thought I will just fail again. I stop going to my English class after that. I didn't care anymore. That was a time I will defined myself in having a fixed mindset. I shut myself down because it was too difficult. I didn't want to try no more. I just give up on it. As time when by, I started to realize that deep down I did care. I knew that I wanted to take it again and didn't want to give up. Plus this is a regent I need in order to graduate. I now see how I change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. I started to go to class again. I try this time. But I didn't read any books. For the regents you need to have read books. I took the regent for a second time and fail again because I didn't read any books. In life we learn from our mistakes. That motivate me to start reading books in the summer. To get myself prepared for the regent. I know that when I take it on June I will pass it. I won't give up. I will always keep on trying. "Failure doesn't define you. It's something you learn from."

Diving inside the mindsets
Quick write:
At this exact point in time I still think that we have a growth mindset. We work hard to get things done. If you don't put effort you wouldn't complete your goal. Don't give up, push through your setback. Hard work pays off.
The student I connected the most with was Carla. Carla went to school when the 1st marking period was half way done and she had to makeup all the classwork, projects, and homework. But then she started going to a program in her school everyday after school till 5:00pm and pass all her classes. I also came in late for school, I started half of the 1st marking period. And I have a lot of makeup to do. But once I get home I do the makeup and also in lunch time I go to my teacher for help. I hope that i will be able to pass all my classes like Carla did.
Final Reflection:
One way teachers can show students that they believe in their potential is by working with the student. One way teachers can cause students to feel discourage or feel like a failure is by showing the student work to others and saying that student didn't even try and will fail the class because of that test. Keep test score private.
Quick write:
The most important claim about mindset is that when you put effort you will accomplish your goal. Just like she said that intellectual skills could be cultivated through effort. The evidence is her research.
