Growth Mindset: Share the Growth Mindset

This semester, I have interned at a place called Loveworks. It is an after school leadership program for middle schoolers, and I help lead some of the lessons. One of our big units has been teaching students how to be the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). One part of being the GOAT is having a GOAT mindset. In our after school programming, the director led a lesson about having a growth mindset and then we broke up into small groups to discuss. I spoke with a few students about what it looks like for them to have a growth mindset. Some ideas they came up with are not giving up on difficult school subjects, but believing they are able to become better by working hard and not giving up. They also talked about how growth mindset can apply to hobbies. Some students did not care much about learning about growth mindset, but a few students really seemed to grasp the idea and how they can apply it in their lives.

Introduction to Shea "Campus Involvement" Penning

Hello! My name is Shea Penning and I'm excited to meet you! I am a junior majoring in Advertising and minoring in Italian.

Last year, we raised over $1 million FTK (For the Kids)! Picture of me at Soonerthon 2018. Personal image. Soonerthon falls under Campus Activities Council, which is the programming branch ...

Tech Tip: Word Counter

This word counter is so helpful! I usually go to a word counter website and write my text in there, then copy and paste it. This extension makes it easy to just write where I will posting my text so I don't have to flip between tabs. I usually am worried about meeting the minimum word count, but I usually don't have an issue hitting, I am just afraid that I won't. I think I am generally bad in estimating numbers in general, so I probably would be very off in my estimate if I just tried tried to guess how long my writing is.
