Growth Mindset
I had never heard of Carol Dweck before watching this video, but her area of research is definitely fascinating. In all aspects of my life, I definitely see myself as a growth-open mindset that craves to learn new things and be able to think about problems in different ways. I have always been excited and drawn in by new, challenging problems and I love trying to wrap my mind around difficult concepts. I related to everything Dweck spoke about in her video and I even feel like I decided to major in chemical engineering because of this mindset. If I did not have the growth-open mindset I would be too timid to try and solve complex engineering problems. I would be interested in learning more about the growth mindset this semester and the challenges seem like a fun way to do it.

I also had never heard of Carol Dweck before the video. I agree that growth mindset played a role in my major choice. I think that the desire to learn new things is an important component of the growth mindset and why I chose chemical engineering. I hope both of us are effective in applying growth mindset in our lives.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool to hear you chose Chem-E because of growth mindset! After thinking about it, engineering is probably one of the best majors to choose to really see this mindset in action. Succeeding in engineering means failing over and over again before finally having that 'aha!' moment. I love the meme you posted, too! It's only the third week of the semester and I resemble that cat much more than I'd like... Thanks for a good read!
