What is one negative or “fixed-mindset” statement or thought that you have had lately?
I am going to fail.
How can you rephrase that into a growth-mindset statement?
I am going to excel and succeed.
Reflection: How would you rate your current mindset? What, if any, steps will you take to shift your mindset?

My current mindset is at ease compared to a few days ago. I've learned that when it becomes too much, I think about what my controls in the situation are. What is out of my control is to put my mind more at ease by not contemplating on it anymore.

Outcomes:

I started to dedicate more time for studying outside of class period time. I noticed the difference in the next few quizzes after taking the time to write notes from the textbook.
Going over the answers that were incorrect after a quiz helped me understand where my error in choice was. Talking in groups assisted me better understand the correct answer and where I became confused before.
Using a planner not just for school but other events outside of my classes has shown improvement in getting more time to study. I've grown more adaptable by my tasks being written out like quizzes, assignments, and readings are due.

I believe that everyone should be neighborly to each other by being nice and always lending a hand to one another.

I value compassion and honesty.

My worldview is based upon the public's actions, that describes who they are and where their morals lie.

As a result of this assignment, I was able to fix my resume in preparation for future jobs and see what was lacking in certain areas. There is no need to include everything in a resume, only the main achievements to make it stand out. During this experience, I was also able to build better references to include in my resume.

In order to build better organization, time management must be controlled. With the help of a calendar, I have become more successful in achieving my goals. As a result of practicing this tactic, I will use a planner more in the future to help me navigate next semester more efficiently.

A way to manage my stress is by writing it out, a way to vent. This has helped me over the past three years to talk more about my conflicts and what I struggle with mentally. My poetry is a way to express the words I struggle to verbally speak out. I often write when I have free time or will take notes when ideas come to me. I have another document with all of my work that is around 14,000 words.
