Growth Mindset week 11:Talking About Failure Is Crucial for Growth. Here's How to Do It Right.

One thing that the article confirmed for me in which I already knew about was when it said “After weeks of careful preparation and practice, you feel ready to knock it out of the park. But the day comes and, for whatever reason, every joke seems to fall flat, you bumble through all your numbers and your technology seems to be working against you”.I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. I prepared for so many presentations and then I always think that I'm going to do good and I have everything that I'm going to say but the minute it's time to go up there and do the presentation I either forget something, stutter, or mess something up. I don't know why this happens to the majority of people but it's crazy. The funny thing is I'm not afraid to give presentation at all. Like when I go in front of the class I'm completely comfortable it's just that I end up messing up the minute I give a presentation. Also another thing that happens is my voice changes. I go from a regular voice to a half weird- nervous voice. Some things that I think it helped with this as we're having a growth mindset is trying not to think about what could go wrong but what could go right.

Project 2

In the stories “ The Creation” and “ Coyote Cooks his Daughter”  there is a big theme of trust that is portrayed in both stories. I feel that both show a great amount of trust between friendship and family. “The Creation” is about a couple of friends Earthmaker, Coyote, and Meadowlark who go on a journey creating Earth. On this journey they all help each other and trust each other's decisions when it comes to making the planet. Now in “ Coyote Eats his Daughter” it's  about how a daughter is eaten by her own father. Trust is the most important thing between any relationship if you can't trust someone then you don't have any stability of Truth to rely on in which both of these stories uses a great amount of theme and tone to discuss the ways of how trust can be looked upon. The tone of “The Creation”  is very friendly because you have these friends who go all around trying to create land  and they're doing it together. In the story tone helps set the theme of ...

Time Strategies

When it comes to time management strategies I always think ahead. Like some people will wait till the last minute and cram everything in just to make the deadline. Me on the other hand I will cram everything in when I first get the assigned so that I'm home free until the next assignment needs to be turned in or is assigned. So for example if an assignment is due on Friday I'm going to do all the work on Monday and Tuesday so that the rest of the week I don't have to stress about getting my work done on time. My schedule is pretty tight this semester because I'm taking four classes which are 12 units and I do have work on the sidelines. I do like the weekly calendar because it lets you know ahead of time  when something is due. Also love how all the week's worth of homework and projects we're going to do is already laid out so it's like you can work ahead and get everything done early. As for the extra credit part I don't think I'm going to need to d...
