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

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 ...

Week 11 Story: How Flower Stole Sunlight

Long ago, when only plants lived on earth, Redwoods were the only ones who had sunlight. All the other plants wanted sunlight too, but Redwoods were taller than everyone else. They stole the sunlight before it could reached any of the other plants. The other plants lived in darkness and fear but Redwoods refused to share sunlight with anyone else. The other plants decided to hold a council to discuss the growing worry they had about living in darkness. Meanwhile, Redwoods held their own council in the light. They set up guards to protect themselves from having other plants try to come take sunlight from them. But Flower had taken root near where the Redwoods were having their meeting before the guards set up. While the Redwoods had their meeting, a small bit of sunlight crept towards Flower. Flower hid a little bit of sunlight in its petals and slowly started moving back towards the other plants' meeting. Before Flower could escape, however, the Redwoods no...
