Growth Mindset

Ehh....the growth mindset. I am not sure how much I like it. I like the concept of it. The feel good " if you put good out in the world you'll get good back". I am just not sure how accurate that is for everyone some children thrive off praise and it makes them want to do better like when your parents say "I'm proud of you". They say I'm proud of YOU not some process because you already know how much it took to get there. But I also like that it says intelligence is something that has no bounds and can be obtained. My soccer coach used to say " hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard", which is true if you really work at something you can pass the person that was naturally gifted.  I think their is little harm in praising the process but I also think you should reward the person as well. It should be a balance between both.

Introduction to a Hot Mess

About Me I am a Capricorn, born on January 11th. I am currently majoring in Biology. After undergrad I will be getting my masters in HR and then going to medical school. Talking about myself so I asked my family and friends to describe me. I love to cook, I played soccer in high school and also ran cross country. I did this horrible thing where I decided to take Latin as my language of choice. I still have mixed reviews about it. I am obsessed with candles especially citrus and fresh cotton or laundry smells. I unfortunately am not a trust fund baby so with that being said I work at Walgreen's and I used to be a resident advisor. I have just recently picked up a job bar-tending. I love my friends like they are my family. I love to dance. I am also a Christian. I don't particularity like going out much. I am a twitter addict. Hard -working and goal oriented. I LOVE children but am or may not want one. My sister thinks that I am loving, caring, very caring, compassionate,

Story 6: The Second's Diary

Dear Diary, I am a Queen or I used to be. If you could even call me that, I am or was at this point in my life the first wife married to King Pandu more like King Pale one. I am not the favorite wife but the second Madri. King Pandu is always Madri this and Madri that. I hope my boys never treat their wives like Pandu treats me. Little does the lovely King Pandu know that he has never had an heir. I can’t believe those two left me with all the children! Like it is not my fault he shot the sages in deer form and then got himself exiled. All those years in solitude and he never thought when he saw Madri again why have I been casted out all of those years. But no, he just ran to Madri like an idiot but you know what they say you can’t fix stupid. And that had to be the stupidest move. Then here comes the melodramatic Madri talking about her heart and how she could not bare to live in a world without him. Like Madri do you not remember the children? Everyone else viewed it as a noble
