My ability and competence grow with my effort (Growth Mindset). I strongly believe this is the best mindset to have to be successful in any learning environment. Think of school as a bank; if you don’t put nothing in (effort) you won’t get nothing out (knowledge). Just like writing the more I do it the better at it I’ll get. With hard work and dedication all thing within reason are possible. If you put in the effort and sweat you can get good grades and graduate. This is how school works you show up put in the energy and time and in turn you get passing grades. You might thing that the growth mindset is setting yourself up for failure, for example what if you do show up and work your hardest and don’t get the outcome you’d hoped for? I will take a different approach. Will I be disappointed defiantly but you can’t let a bump in the road stop you, you have to keep going. The chances of you working your hardest and not getting the results you’d hoped for is almost never. Hard work pays. I hate writing I don’t even like texting if it’s more than 3 sentences. I would love to have a better relationship with writing so I work at it. I was told reading helps so I started reading more and now I get to write every week. I think I will grow as a writer by the time the semester is over. I think the issue I have with is I can’t just solve it I have to critically think and write. With math I can just solve it so it works for me but I can’t graduate if I don’t pass English as well so I put in the work needed to get me the result I’m hoping for.

I really like how you said, "Think of school as a bank; if you don’t put nothing in (effort) you won’t get nothing out (knowledge)." that's a great way to put it!
