Growth Mindset.

I have no heard of Carol Dweck's or growth mindset before this class. That being said, I wish I had. I thought what she had to say was very relatable  I liked how she talked about making challenge the new comfort zone. I one hundred percent agree with her. I used to be for the easy route all the way until I came to college and felt like I knew nothing. You need to challenge yourself to keep growing. If I would have kept choosing the easy way, I don't think I would have learned but a fourth of what I know now. I also agree with her on having fixed and growth mindsets. I remember in middle school how you could look uncool or nerdy for exceeding in school. Middle school is an awful time, in my opinion. You follow your peers and often do not do some things you make want to do but don't for the sole purpose of not looking dumb. I am excited to learn more about growth mindset because I have caught myself not doing something because I feel limited or that I just can't do it. I think having a growth type of mindset will allow me to have the thought process that I can do anything and can't be limited.
