My strengths related to growth mindset:
- Taking a long-term view than taking a short-term view
- Finding motivation inside myself rather than looking for praise and other rewards (I do this in other areas other than class.)
- Being willing to try new things rather than staying in my comfort zone
- Setting my own goals rather than letting other people make choices for me (I ask for advice, but I normally make an informed decision on my own. If I can't, I reevaluate if what I'm doing is something I should truly be doing.)
- Being confident that I can improve rather than thinking I'm not good enough (No one can every get better if you have the "Not good enough" outlook
- Setting my own schedule rather than doing things last minute (I do classwork last minute, but I don't do organizational and non-class related things last minute because most of the time they are incredibly important and related to my reputation and my work ethic.)
- Being open to any and all feedback rather than wanting only positive feedback (You can't grow this way)
- Asking lots of questions
My weaknesses related to growth mindset:
- In classes, I do the minimum, but I do it correctly.
- I focus on grades, because that's what I've been taught you must do to succeed. At this point in my life, I just want to graduate but I have set high standards for myself, so even though I say I don't care, I always try to do my best.
- Choosing what's easy (This depends on what it's related to. Class? I choose easy. Organization? I choose the best. Anything related to a job or internship? Choose the best.)
- Doing things last minute (class-related things that I know I can get done)
- Being a perfectionist (I can't change this quickly. I am a perfectionist, and I'm constantly working on it.)

- Feeling defensive about mistakes (This goes along with being a perfectionist)
I will work on my weaknesses, but honestly I just want to get a job and graduate.
Hey, Mia. Your strengths sound really great. I love that you're able to have the confidence to improve rather than having a negative outlook on yourself; it's sad when people do that because they deserve better, so I'm glad you can have that mindset! I think it's a really strong feature to have.
ReplyDeleteI also focus on grades too much and sometimes I wonder whether we'll really need to learn certain things for our majors.
It's great that you're able to pick out your strengths and weaknesses! I hope that you're able to continue improving and strengthen these weaknesses.
Hi Mia! I just wanted to start off by saying that I love the use of the meme. I have not seen that one in quite a while. It is great that you were able to find a decent sized list of your weaknesses so that you can learn what areas you can improve in. Hopefully you have been able to improve on some of them this semester!
