Growth Mindset: Learn From Other Students

-
The first quote that I saw that really stood out to me was "Learn From Failure." I am a PreMed major at OU and sometimes the classes are super challenging. However, I tend to hold myself to such a high standard that I overwhelm myself. When I get a bad grade, I take it very hard rather than using it as motivation to never get that type of grade again. I will use this quote to drive motivation, rather than trigger anxiety.

The second quote that I really like was, "G.R.O.W.: Go Rip Open Windows." Personally, I have a routine and I stick to it. I was to adapt this motto so that I can feel comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone and seeking opportunity. I will not find much success if I close myself off from opportunity and opportunity is not going to seek me out. Finding ways to grow will benefit me in life, school, and in general.

    Hi Caitlin,
    Your picture drew me to your growth mindset post! I am a Biology, Pre-PA major, so I can absolutely agree that the course load is extremely difficult. I tend to overwhelm myself also and that prevents me from finding new opportunities ! I tend to stay within my comfort zone as well. After seeing growth mindset posts, it allows me to see things differently.

    Hey Caitlin! I am the same way about taking bad grades poorly. I have such high expectations for myself that if I get a good grade, it doesn't feel like cause for celebration, but if I get a bad grade then it feels like the world has ended haha. I think I should probably work on growth, too, because this isn't a super healthy mindset to have. Hopefully we can both be less harsh on ourselves!

Introduction to the Future Doctor

Hello and welcome to my blog. This is all very new to me, but I think I am figuring everything out. I am a third year undergraduate student at the university and I am majoring in Biology. I am definitely one of those people that find school enjoyable, to some extent, and math and science are my favorite subjects. I like that I get to explore all the different science classes that college has to offer and I hope that I do well enough in school to pursue my goal of becoming a doctor. Both my parents are involved in "healing" because they are physical therapists. My parents love their job and helping others is what they love most about it. Growing up, I always wanted to help others just like them, so I wanted to be in the field of medicine and healing whether that is being a doctor, therapist, etc. Female Doctor at Eldorado.

Week 5 Story: Karma

One day, Barry Sanders was looking over the offensive playbook for the big game this coming weekend. He always felt at ease when looking over his plays. He was getting in the zone when an NFL coach approached him. The coach said, "son, if you find Adrian Peterson's playbook, you will never lose another game again." Sanders lit up with determination and made it his mission to find this forbidden playbook. The coach told him that the playbook was buried underneath the Texas Longhorn field in a box that was in duffel which was in a suitcase.  Sanders approached a few of his teammates and told them of this fortunate information and asked for their help in retrieving the treasure. The guys said, "hey man that is not such a great idea, the price to pay for something that special is too great." Sanders ignored them and set out to find the playbook. He snuck into the Longhorn stadium and dug and dug and dug until he found the infamous suitcase. He opened the
