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.
