Growth Mindset: A Beginning

-
A crucial part of having a growth mindset is to be able to listen to other people. After looking through different quotes or experiences, I have found two insights that stood out to me. 
1. "Reflection is crucial when you are having a hard time learning, and need to reflect on WHY you are having a hard time". This means that you need to take a step back and look at what you are doing. From personal experience, it is so hard for me to do this. I try to avoid something if I fail or I am not good at it. To reflect on something, you have to go back to it. I will try to reflect on my assignments this semester.
2."Forgetting Is Sometimes Hard Choosing Happiness Is Possible" This is such a fun way to understand the growth mindset. It is always an option to be happy. I forget this sometimes when I fail. This semester, I will have to remember this. It is so important to keep moving and more linger on your mistakes.

    Hi Kelsea! I totally agree with you about how said that reflecting on something that I am not good at is really hard. In reality so many people end up giving up on things when they think they aren't good at them and I'm definitely one of those people with some things. Can you imagine how different the world would be or even our own lives would be if we were to reflect on the things we thought we were bad at instead of giving up on them?

Introduction to a Traveler

(Image Information: personal photo me in Taiwan; photo from June 2017.)     Hello Everyone! My name is Kelsea Long. I am currently a senior at the University of Oklahoma majoring in International Studies with 3 minors.   Throughout my time at OU, I have had the opportunity to study abroad 2 times. I chose to go to Seoul, South Korea each time. I started learning Korean at a young age, so I was able to adjust to Korean life very fast. During my stay there, I was not only a student, but I also worked at an NGO in marketing to help with North Korean defectors. This experience for me really changed my point of view because I was able to learn about other cultures while learning more about myself.    As soon as I turned 18, I did not know what to do with my life, I always followed what my friends were doing. But, when I first studied abroad, I wanted to take the time to learn what I wanted to do and what makes me happy. This drive helped me to...

Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying By  Katrina Schwartz One thing that I already knew about sleep was that it is important to your mental health. But, it is very challenging to get the right about of sleep every night. One new thing that I learned while reading this article was that many children are facing serious sleep derivation issues. This is affects test scores around the country. The study conducted was to see what happens with a child is able to properly rest. By sleeping, children are able to retain and recall more information. One thing that this article has inspired me to do is to stop cramming. By cramming in essays or projects at the last minute, I am not able to sleep overnight. This leads to my work not having as good of quality and my personality changes depending on how tired I am.
