For my academic mindset assignment, I turned to the help of my parents. My parents are very observant and they have picked up on my habits and can relate to it as well. I personally feel that this was a good approach because my parents are very involved with my academics and activities. I explained to them the difference between growth and fixed mindsets and asked them to identify which one I related to more. Before I did this I identified myself first so that I could see if we were on the same page. The biggest obstacle was actually reading all of the articles about growth and fixed mindsets and all of the differences. To overcome this obstacle I made list to compare and contrast the different mindsets. I found this made it easier to spot the differences and made it less painful to write about.
I wrote this project in my room but at a reasonable time. For the hiraeth project I waited until last minute and it stressed me out. I found that starting the project earlier helps. I wrote bits and pieces everyday until it was finally completed. I wrote about this topic because it was required. This was definitely not my favorite thing to write about. I threw my own personal experience into it to try and make it more interesting and to personalize it. I will adapt my writing process by continuing to doing my assignments in a timelier manner and use the method of writing bits and pieces everyday until completed. I felt that this method was less stressful and allowed me to have time to revise it.
