2. I don’t feel like I’ve had a moment where I’ve wanted to give up. I believe it’s because I took a gap semester and as this is my first semester back, I feel really motivated to get the work done. I feel my attitude has developed in that I feel like I’m close to finishing school, so this is the last “push” before I get to do so. I would say the experience that has helped me is that gap semester, as at that time I really didn’t feel motivated to study, but now I do.
3. I would say developing a tenacious mindset comes from being disciplined and having goals/ ambitions in mind. This becomes a “life” attitude as in college there are deadlines, and your sense of alertness comes from wanting to get a passing or good grade. I would say for three steps: Have a schedule and be disciplined about it, get involved in other things other than school to develop a work habit, and I’d say get sleep and wake up early. I’ve found doing the work early in the morning gets me feeling accomplished already throughout the day and makes me want to keep going.
Hello Raul!
ReplyDeleteI love the image you included saying "mindset is everything". I fully support this idea. I believe if you have a poor attitude then you will do a poor job. And vice versa with a good attitude. Staying ahead of the assignment schedule is a must for this course. The assignments can easily pile up really fast if you do not create a schedule. I enjoyed reading your post.

Hello Raul!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great image that you showed about "mindset is everything." From my understanding, people should clear their mind and have a systematic management of work lists before doing anything which is also mindset. It could improve your understanding in dealing with different work which improved your effectiveness indeed. It is true that mindset could help people become more discipline. In some ways,people would become more confident in dealing with class notes and assignments with mindset arrangement!
I definitely relate to this. The most important thing for me was just scheduling my week to allow for time to do the assignments so that I will not be rushing Friday morning. I also never thought of quitting as well. One thing I really should start doing is getting my sleeping schedule down as it varies wildly, and coming off of Spring break it is really off the rails.
