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.

Week 5 Story: Elephant's Revenge

 Elephant's Revenge      A snake heard the loud footsteps of an elephant walking towards him. He became excited because he had been waiting for this moment for days now. A mother elephant was venturing to gather some food and stopped by her usual 'itching tree'. Every couple of days she would use the tree to itch her back where pesky flies and bugs would bite her. Although she would shake the tree, and the animals in it, no damage ever resulted from it as she was careful not to harm the residents that lived there. However, the snake was evil and knew he could use her size and actions to cover up his own agenda. When she began to shake the tree, the snake slid over to a bird's nest and wacked the nest with his tail. This caused all the eggs to fall out and smack against the ground. The parent birds were just arriving back to the nest when they saw the eggs fall. The snake slivered away before he was spotted and the birds automatically assumed it was the elephant's it...
