I had not previously heard of Carol Dweck, however I had heard of the growth mindset before. It was a term I briefly studied it in a psychology textbook while preparing for the MCAT, and that is when I first began to reflect on my individual mindset. Recently, I see myself as having a very growth-driven outlook. However, in the past, I used to get discouraged easily by bad grades and other peoples opinions to the point where I was in a fixed mindset throughout a portion of high school. Thankfully, when college began I was surrounded by new people and was able to escape from the fixed way of thinking and more into reflecting on what I could achieve. I am very interested in learning more about the growth-fixed mindset and how it applies to mythology/folklore.
