So 'Growth Mindset' is the ability to see your brain as being like a muscle and the ability that you can grow and learn and improve.
When I was doing my writing I made a lot of mistakes.
I thought I couldn't do it.
I tried out for the Spelling Bee.
I wasn't confident.
I used my growth mindset and I made it to the district competition.
When I do tests I sometimes get the answer wrong but the test happens again and then I get the answer right.
To me 'growth mindset' is saying; never give up even if you don't succeed.
To have a growth mindsetI use the power of 'Yet.'
If I haven't done something I say
I just haven't done this YET.
The focus is very much on
the effort that is going into the work.
It's not just about a grade.
