My Own Personal Mindset

My Own Personal Mindset

This blog post is going to be about a growth mindset, what it is, how and why. A growth mindset to me means, trying you're best, improving your talent, challenging yourself into doing things. A growth mindset also means you have a positive attitude towards people and yourself. 

Personally, if I was asked what kind of mindset I am, I would put myself between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. I tend to avoid challenges and would like things to be the same, I also put a lot of effort into my projects/work and try to improve it. When I receive feedback I normally ignore it but sometimes when I really need it, I look to go find feedbacks from my blog post and learn from it.

One thing I experienced that was a fixed mindset was when I was chosen to be a representative for my class but I declined it. I deeply wanted to do it but I was afraid of taking new challenges and risk.

A strategy I think would help me move towards a growth mindset is challenging things could help me grow as a person, even if there's a risk of failing. you'll be able to learn new things from it even maybe change you, like how I went out trying ice skating for the first time that I despised but ended up enjoying it. 

Here is an example of a growth mindset and a fixed mindset 🠗

Matariki Word Search

Matariki Word Search

Last term we were told to do make a project about Matariki, unfortunately, we weren't able to finish it in time so we decided to finish it this term. The activity I choose to do is a 10-word search including Matariki words such as Matariki, Tradition, Festival, Harvest, Celebration, New Years, Kites, Taurus, Remembrance, Constellation and Pleiades.

I added 1 extra word which was the English version or Matariki, "Pleiades".

What is Matariki about?

Matariki is about celebration, culture and spending time with your dear loved ones, Matariki symbolized the harvest festival where the Maori feasted on crops that they had prepared.

Pixton Mini Comic

Pixton Mini Comic

After I finished making my comic strip we had to make a comic in Pixton, I chose to make a mini-comic about the news in Pixton, the "story" is about two news reporters talking about a murder outbreak in Florida and 10 of the murderer's victim were found dead and 13 were severely injured.

Pixton is very easy and fun to use for making fast online comics, I enjoyed using Pixton and making a short comic.
