Growth Mindset Swot Analysis

For a growth mindset to truly take part on oneself, we should always embrace imperfection. I remember being young as 13, telling myself that I wished I looked like someone else. I never embraced how I look because I looked different from the kids at school. But hiding my imperfection means I will never overcome it. High school was a long road of acceptance. I felt the need to get everyone to accept me. In the end the road was blocked and I was nothing to them. I just sacrificed my potential mindset for approval from others. It daunted over that not everyone will like me and I am find with that.

At first college seemed like a scary word. I would ask teachers if college was difficult, they would answer it includes a lot of hard work. What does that even mean? Then it just gave me chills, I pay thousands of dollars on college I am definitely not going to fail. Then the first few weeks I just kept myself I should not fail. I should have focused on learning, rather than worry about failing. I learned that I should replace the word failing with the word learning. When we fall short or make mistakes, we have not failed; it is the way of learning. I need to that learning can also allow mistakes

What I learned about growth mindset is that; you have to learn, hard work, and face the challenges.

From my perspective I always wanted to do better than others. But it is more important to learn then to get top grades. In high school there is cycle of learning and forgetting. After a subject final I would always forget about the subject. Same thing with summer, everything you learn washes

away.

So far in the fourth week of college everything is fine, except one subject. Intro to computing is a part of my major yet the first day I looked at the board crazily. If this was basic I wonder how hard everything else was going to be, but luckily I signed up for a tutor. He told me I should learn step by step, instead of just jumping to the answer. Learning should come natural and putting a lot of effort into learning and working hard is the key. The more hard work and effort I put into something the likely chance of me being better at it. With a fixed mindset it seems if you hide your mistakes and blame others. Because you do not understand the subject, it will conspire to cheat on a test. But with a growth mindset you look towards your mistakes and confront the challenge. And instead of cheating you would spend more time on studying.

I feel like all I need to do for a growth mindset is to focus on effort, to be persistence despite challenges focus on reflecting on different strategies that work and don’t work. Focus on learning and improving seek challenges and work hard.
