In the book, “Teaching Adolescents To Become Learners” from the UCHICAGOCCSR, four academic mindsets are presented as: (1) belonging, (2) growth mindset, (3) self-efficacy, and (4) relevance/purpose. Out of one of these mindsets, I feel the best importance for my academic success at DCCC is growth mindset. This particular attitude in my educational environment has spectated to me of being the most affective mode of psyche.
Having a growth mindset is extremely important to me due to the history of my accomplishments with this productive mentality. Past experiences with overcoming scholastic chores in the school ecosystem have collided with my character of elastic stability. Many may think otherwise that mental growth would conflict with the social status quo. Being too soft on someone’s mind isn’t diving deep enough into the sea that is knowledge. There is a massive ocean out there waiting to be explored. Any other mentality set, alone, for me is not going to equip me with the needed tools to explore to the level of my satisfaction. Self-motivation provides me with great tools for me to reach far and beyond what is expected. I know that I can grow my intelligence by providing or being provided the tools of comprehension. The more I comprehend, the more knowledge I have to work with, therefore I get more supplied with practice and not only exercise, but anew my paths of mind exercising. The use of different varieties of techniques can improve my intelligence at least to some degree. In DCCC, my mindset can help me to achieve higher grades and more learning from the understanding that I can overcome the speedbumps in my academic setting. In conclusion, my mindset has, does, and always will be the most important tool of my life. It is very important to me to overcome difficult tasks and grow as a person, because life won’t always throw me the stick. Sometimes, I have to work for it. This can very well lead me to achieve higher standards and goals.

I like the quote, "Life won't always throw me a stick" Great imagery in that!
