Week 11 Growth Mindset

Challenge: Explore Growth Mindset Beyond School

Although growth mindset is important in the classes I am currently in, there has been a lot of need for that same mindset outside of school work.

I spent the summer studying for the MCAT, and am currently in the process of applying to medical school!
