In this Non Cognitive Report, Teaching Adolescents to Become Learners there are many different topics discussed. One of the most important topics are the academic mindsets which are belonging, growth mindset, self efficiency and relevance/purpose. Out of those mindsets I feel as though growth mindset applies to me the most. By a growth mindset I mean believing you can develop your abilities through hard work and dedication. You're able to take constructive criticism and use it to better whatever it is you're that your working on. You work hard to get where you want to be.
Having this mindset here at DCCC is most important because I can easily achieve academic success. I do very well with constructive criticism , I feel like it is the most helpful feedback you could get. It makes me want to do better and work harder, my goal is to always learn from my mistakes. There are times I want to give up but then I remember that sometimes you have to struggle in order to thrive. During the struggle there are many things going through my mind. Am I going to do well ? What can I do in order to get this done ? I have to stop and think, I always tell myself I can do it and revise my strategy if need be. With all of this being said, throughout my college years I know I will be able to succeed with this mindset if I can continue to learn from my mistakes and tr to develop all of my abilities.

Hi! How are you? "I do very well with constructive criticism , I feel like it is the most helpful feedback you could get." I like this sentence. I feel like in order to get better at writing or anything that we do in life , we must be able to take criticism and use it to our advantage to learn and grow from it.
