What drives me to be better is success. When I succeed at something academically I feel better and I am motivated to continue to pursue my school career so that I can continue to cultivate that feeling of satisfaction. I think I have a mix of both a growth and fixed mindset because I do believe there’s room for improvement but I also believe that ambition and the strive for perfection can be a liability and hinderance just as much as it can be a goal.]]> 2022-12-05 22:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409831041 Ryan Barrera ryeb2017 https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409835058 The Ted Talk that was presented to me was about successful people, always having something in them called "grit". Grit is another way to say passion and preservice. The Woman says that she studied many professions and many types of people. The people that had a lot of something called grit were the ones that had the most success. She mentions that even though she does not know exactly how to give people more grit, she says the best way is to teach kids something called a growth mindset. People with a growth mindset think that failure is a challenge rather than a permanent condition. People with a growth mindset also think for the long run, instead of what might happen tomorrow.

Me, I am very passionate about technology and computers. I have always found them fascinating because. Me finding new tricks, and new techniques on how to do stuff on computers drives me to continue. I think that I am both sprinting, and doing a marathon. I play quite a bit of video games, however, I still have plenty of time to learn a lot from computers. I would also say that I have a growth mindset due to the reason why I am very stubborn about many things and that I won't give up.]]> 2022-12-05 22:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409835058 Ashley Montesino-Padron https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409838517 I'm passionate about graduating and working in medicine. Becoming an RN and then working my way up to a CRNA. I love being able to help people and I like working in hospitals. Being able to help women, helping kids, or working in the trauma center. Something that drives me to do better is success. I'm turning into a marathon, working hard to accomplish my goals. I have a "growth mindset" because there are ways to improve, learn new things, do things you haven't done before. ]]> 2022-12-05 22:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409838517 Charlie DiGiuseppi 7th grade language. https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409840699 I liked watching the Ted video. This video makes you stop and think about your own path and life. I think grit is believing in your self and not giving up. I am passionate  about my family, my pets and cars. I am driven to be better by my parents and my self. I like to make my parents proud of me and I like to be proud of myself. They tell me as long as I do my best they are proud of me. 
I think I am not sprinting through life. I am Doing a marathon. I am in no hurry to grow up and get a job. I am only 12 years old and I know I can be anything I chose to be. I have a growth mindset, I love learning new things and trying new things. I know if I try hard I will do anything I hope to do. When I grow up I hope to design cars.  ]]> 2022-12-05 22:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409840699 Denisse Peña - Leadership Skills and Development https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409841934 I am passionate about my behavior and how I treat others. I try my best to always treat others the way they should be treated. What drives me to be better is the knowledge of what I can become if I keep pushing and working hard. If I want something deeply, then I know that I need to work for it, to prove that I am able to have it. I believe that I am turning into a marathon because I prepare myself and train to be better, while challenging myself to grow. I have a growth mindset because I love challenges and feel that they are necessary in order to grow as a person. ]]> 2022-12-05 22:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409841934 Lisette Morales - Leadership Skills and Dev. https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409842371 Being a gritty person means perseverance and passion. Success does not have to come from money, it has to come from your passions.
I am very passionate about fashion and the industry behind it - in my opinion, what you wear can determine everything. I am also passionate about photography. I often take photos of my friends and family - there are times that I see my work and think that what I did could have been better, so over, the "want" of bettering my work drives me to be better. 
There are times where I do feel like I am sprinting through life - for a majority of my life I have felt as if "the faster I get it done the better." (this has come with negative and positive effects)
I like to believe that I have a growth mindset, but in tricky situations I have been caught saying to my self, "this is impossible," which is not true. I have been putting my best foot forward, keeping the thoughts of something being 'impossible' out of my mind.]]> 2022-12-05 22:36:51 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409842371 Anthony DiGiuseppi English II Honors https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409843272       The Ted Talk presented to us talked to us about grit. Grit is what pushes people to keep going. It is taking advantage of your mistakes and using them to better yourself. The presenter stated how the definition of successful is not always about how smart you are but your willingness to keep pushing forward. 
    I am passionate about school, my family, and cars. My parents drive me to be better and my own goals to one day become an Ophthalmologist. I chose this career after my little brother Charlie had Eye Surgery to help him when he was little.
  I believe that I am running a marathon. I am looking forward and thinking about what I have ahead of me and what I can do to improve myself along the way. I believe that I have a growth mindset. I like to think that I learn from my mistakes and use them to better myself. ]]> 2022-12-05 22:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409843272 Adrian Duran - Grit; What is it and my Reflection https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409845770 Just to summarize, Grit is basically the will or passion/determination to continue something. Grit is telling yourself to not give up because you feel like you already went in and it's too late / too early to give up. I am Passionate about one of my extracurriculars, drums. The fact that I can do something as simple as play a couple of repeating notes and THAT can be impressive, makes me keep my drive. It makes me to try to make CRAZY and WACKY beats to be more interesting. Sometimes, sure, I mess up. But then I know what to do and not do again! It's all a cycle of keep going and failure, keep going and failure. Until I, sometimes randomly, succeed. Then, I gain knowledge, and EVEN MORE DRIVE! Right now, I am doing a mix of sprinting and doing a marathon. On one hand, I try to do something quick and easy to do more things, while having fun. On the other hand, when I find a problem, THATS when I stop and train. Sure, I may make mistakes, but I learn from those mistakes. I now know my GREATEST points and my weakest points (For example, I EXCELL in math, I'm literally in Geometry honors, yet I may have trouble with troubles doing simple 7 grade math such as SURFACE AREA! With that being said, I believe I have a growth mindset, because I Actually stop and try to learn when my speed machine stops at a problem. When i figure it out, I don't just move on. I Practice, making sure that I will almost NEVER make that mistake again. In short, When I fail, I don't stop. I keep going and going until I physically can't no more.]]> 2022-12-05 22:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2409845770 https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2410087701 Grit: The Power of Passion And Perseverance 
 
     This video made me reflect on the problem that many of us students have including me because yes, it is hard to complete tasks but it is not impossible. If we have a motivation, a guide, or even a goal it would make us have a reason to think about what we are doing and eventually it will enforce us to continue the tasks with a certain motivation or goal to complete.

What I am most passionate about is reading, specifically I like books on interior decoration. My favorite is The Art of Elegance. Classic Interiors. Everything is based on the principle of transformations, combining warmth, light, peace and balance, according to the lifestyle of each family. I am passionate about discovering new ways to solve cases that seem complicated. I feel that my strong pillar that drives me to be better and strive every day is my family. I consider that I am becoming a marathon runner, since I enjoy the changes and learn from them. I have a growth mindset with fixed goals for the future. I would like to be an interior decorator. I like the changes and transformations that can be given to spaces depending on the fashions and tastes of each person. it is very satisfying to see a smile on people's faces at the end of a project.]]> 2022-12-06 20:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2411258211 Adam Itingen Leadership skills devolpment https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2411525466 I am passionate about football and law those two things are really important to me.The thing drives me to be better is my friends and family and I am always thankful for them.

I think grit is something important that everybody needs to have to keep moving forward in life. I think after watching the ted talk video that everybody including myself needs to have more grit. I think I need to have more grit when chasing my dreams. My dream is to hopefully make it to the NBA, and I know that I need to have grit and discipline to get there. I think I am sprinting life and I need to slow it down and enjoy the journey. I think I have a more growth focused mindset because I'm always trying to get my skills to the next level in life. I'm passionate about pursuing sports in my life. Grit is super important at my age because it can motivate you to become the person you want to be in the future. ]]> 2022-12-09 22:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoble/fhvkgevl2f9jn9j2/wish/2416091060
