Growth Mindset and Me!

I have always been a perfectionist. Growing up in a house with an engineer and a pharmacist I quickly learned that everything takes time to get perfect, but that it was doable. I didn't like that as much as a quick return though. So learning about Carol Dweck and growth mindset this week was really inspiring. Throughout my college experience I have definitely learned to change how I approach classes. Both studying and taking on the challenges of harder classes has made me a better person, for sure!

Watching the TED talk with Dweck showed a lot of the interesting concepts of the Growth Mindset.  I think it will be fun to further explore this concept and keep working on my own thought process, reaching for my yet! Every time I see a challenge I will be pushing myself further and working on increasing my neuron pathways! Rather than focusing on all the obstacles in my way, I hope to focus on the end goal: Physical Therapy school.

My other personal goal for this semester is to find more joy in the small things. I want to really enjoy this semester, because it is my last spring semester at OU (I graduate next December). So with that I want to find every opportunity to utilize my time and explore the best of OU!
