Growth Mindset

 I have not heard of the growth mindset or Carol Dweck before taking this course. I think for myself I am probably in the middle. I know that I love to learn more and that when I do understand it I get very happy. But I also know that if I am struggling with something a lot I can get very frustrated with myself and sometimes give up. So I believe in terms of school work sometimes I have have a fixed mindset and sometimes I have a growth mindset. I think when it is something that I am interested in I definitely have a growth mindset but when it is a topic that I am not a passionate about and that I know I will nit be needing as much in the career path I want to go in I can find myself having the fixed mindset. I believe in terms of sports I always have a growth mindset. When there is a new skill I want to learn I often find myself not giving up until I get that skill. While I've been at I've found out that it is much easier for me to have a growth mindset when I am passionate about what I am learning. I think my biggest challenges when learning new things is setting enough time to do things. I know sometimes I can get frustrated and will need to come back to something so just knowing that about myself is a good thing. I think I will definitely be excited to learn more about the growth mindset this semester because in know I can improve with it. I think my goal this semester would be to stay on top of all my assignments because I am taking a lot of hours so staying on top of everything and getting things done early will be very important for me.

 Hello! My name is Sophie Martin. I am from Orange County, California. I was born and raised there so I know the area very well. Although my family has moved a few times we have generally live in the same part of Orange County. I am very close to my family. I have two older sisters who are amazing. My middle sister does behavioral therapy with children who are on the spectrum and she loves it very much. My oldest sister is an amazing chef and now is working to get her masters in teaching. She also just got married this past summer. She is the first out of all of us to get married so it was very special. I also gained my first brother from this so it was an amazing experience altogether.  My major is public relations with a minor in communication. I absolutely love learning more in this topic. I always knew I wanted to do something social but taking classes in public relations definitely makes me like it even more. I know this major is broad so there are many different paths I can take

 Native American Marriage Tales Bibliography: Native American Marriage Tales by Stith Thompson  marriage-dog-husband.html There was a women who owned a cat. This cat was her best friend they were together all day. During the night the cat would turn into a human and come into her bed to keep her company.
