Week 8 Growth Mindset

(Be creative:Pixabay)

There are a number of growth weakness and strengths that I can relate to in all of my classes. Some weaknesses that I have are staying in my comfort zone, focusing on my grades, choosing what’s easy, and doing things the last minute. I hate admitting to it but I am a huge procrastinator. Some times I feel I work better under pressure but, to be honest, I would rather not do that. It’s just that some times when I know something is due later that week, I can’t seem to wrap my head around it and focus. I really like how this course is designed. We are able to work at our own pace and learn how to prioritize what we need to get done. When this class first started, I didn’t really have a set schedule of how I wanted to balance this class with my other classes but now I think I am finally starting to get the hang of it.


Some of the strengths that I have definitely learned so far from this course are being open to feedback and being ready for things to change. I have learned that feedback is there to help you improve and it should not bring you down. I have also learned that change is good so you should always be willing to try new things. It doesn't matter if you fail or not, just as long as you know you tried. This course has definitely taken me out of my comfort zone and I'm glad it did because I would have never thought of writing these fun stories!

  1. Our strengths and weaknesses are very similar. I'm not very good at getting out of my comfort zone either, but this class has definitely helped a lot with that. I never thought I would write these kinds of stories and be so creative, it just wasn't me, but I've grown a lot. I'm glad you feel the same!

  2. I think everyone struggles with stepping out of their comfort zone, it really is just taking the first step that is the hardest. We have to keep challenging ourselves and pushing the boundaries if we are going to allow ourselves to live beyond our potential.
