I failed my first two years of high school because of different reasons. Seeing myself fail really bothered me because I was always an honor student. I got a little discouraged but then I picked myself back up. I changed my school and once I got to Crotona Academy I made up my mind to pass my classes with 90s like I'm used to.
Notes on Grit:
- Passion and perseverance
- motivation
- inversely related to talent
- growth mindset
- willing to fail to start over again
Reflection:
At first I didn't have GRIT. I didn't take failure easily. If I failed I would given up because I let things like failure discourage me. I used to be like this for a while, when my father passed away it got worst. But I ended up changing my ways. I used my obstacles to help me push further.
For example, I failed terribly my first two years of high school but I didn't leave it that way. I transferred to a new school (Crotona Academy High School) and made up my mind that I was going to be the honor student. Even now that I go through different situations in life I stay motivated and focused. But if I had happened to fail, I just do it over better than before.
In order to develop GRIT you have to have a mindset made up for it. You have to be willing to fail and start over again like Angela Lee Duckworth said in the video. You have to have patience and passion for it. Set goals and become an over achiever. Just don't let anything get you down. This class can help you develop GRIT because this class is all about learning and studying the mindsets of people. It makes me want to develop more GRIT.
A beautiful reflection because you cited evidence from the text AND also analyzed that evidence. This post is also a great model for showing how to complete a post activity. Everything is organized and even someone who had no idea what this class is about would understand it. There are a couple minor errors.
