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.

My junior year I was the president of the OU Women's Club Volleyball team, and enjoyed traveling to ...

Wikipedia Trail: From Elephant to Action Potential

 Wikipedia Trail: From Elephant to Action Potential Elephant - Link I spent a lot of time in this class researching elephants and creating stories about them. So, it seemed only fitting to start my wikipedia trail with elephants as well. Elephant Cognition - Link In addition to just writing stories about elephants, I also touched on their social bonds and how intelligent the species is. From this article I learned that elephants are among the most altruistic animals on earth! Neuron - Link I am currently in a physiological psychology class, and have taken several other classes that involve the anatomy of the brain. So, when I saw neuron I had to click it because it goes along too well with topics I have been learning in my other classes this semester. Action Potential - Link Finally, I arrived at action potentials. Although small, action potentials are responsible for so much- including how I form thoughts and how I am able to type on my computer right now. This class has definitel...
