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."
