Growth Mindset

 After watching the videos provided in this assignment, I really enjoyed learning more about the "growth mindset." I have never heard of Carol Dweck, she is an incredible woman. I loved watching her Ted Talk and learning more about what the growth-fixed mindset is. I personally feel that now that I am a senior in college, I am more on the growth-fixed mindset because I do not always focus on the letter grade I receive, but on how much I learn, how to do the best I can personally do in a class, and the value of relationships I make in each class. I find these things to be more important than a physical letter grade because I will never look back at my school experience, I will think about my memories and what I learned. Her ted talk really changed my perspective about school and what success truly means. I think I will be interested to learn more about growth mindset this semester because I think it had a lot of important life lessons linked to it. I believe that the quality of education and effort is much more important than a grade. My personal learning goals I have for this semester are giving 100% effort to every assignment, learning as much as a I can from each class, and be confident when giving presentations. 


I like this image because it implies that it's good to make mistakes so you can learn from them.

I love going to the beach with my family. We always go on a spring break trip together, it has been a family tradition since I was a little girl. I love to hangout with my friends and family, workout, go on walks, and to cook. I also enjoy skiing and swimming at the beach. My favorite type of music is country, but I also love pop, rock, and hiphop. I chose to attend OU because I knew I wanted to attend a traditional university with a strong alumni presence and a large greek system.

Week 7 Story: The Miraculous Mirror

Image
Once upon a time, there was a sun goddess, whom was high of the heavens named  Amaterasu. She was known to sit in the middle of the night weaving a web of Doom. In which, this web of Doom was so big and symbolized the characteristics of joy and dismay. Amaterasu's weaving lead to Izanagi's daughter showing up. She was known for her Lotus-pure blossoms of Love with the flame of a rapturous star. She began to spin and interweave colors that represented important things to her, like life or war.  Thunder and lightening began falling from the sky. The angels were bowling. The Hall of the Gods were sending a message from heaven.  Suddenly, the demon of fire appeared in the mist of the ran. He was called, the Dragon of Hell. Amaterasu was frightened, she left her spinning and weaving. She raged at her brother in fear.  People prayed for a sign of heaven. They knew they needed more good in this world than the devil showing itself through fire and wind. They prayed for the Sun-Goddess
