Growth and Fixed Mindsets

My mindset throughout the last week of school has been an on and off mixture of growth and fixed. Beginning my week in a new environment, and in a new comfort zone, I had an open mind. For my first two classes, FYS 100 and CST 104, I believe that I went in with a fixed mindset. I figured that it would be an easy class, no big deal, and I wouldn't have to work as hard. However, after the second session of FYS and CST that I attended, I realized that I was in for a little bit more of a challenge, but that was okay. My mindset then changed from fixed, to growth. This was because I realized that this class was meant to better my knowledge, and I needed to accept the learning experience that was being provided. I saw this as something that I would not give up on, but instead learn and grow from.  To sum up my entire week, I believe that I had a growth type mindset. Once I was knocked out of the fixed mindset, I realized that I needed to constantly be in the growth mindset, and unceasingly be accepting of improvement. Not only in the next few weeks, but in life as a whole.
