Week 1:
Considering what we have discussed this week (grit is plural/growth mindset): What motivates you? What is the boost or drive within that makes you say in the morning- “I want to go to class?” How do you maintain this engagement? What discourages you?
To help get you started, you may write about any or all of the suggestions below:
- Positive stimuli that keep you moving
- Obstacles that you have to face on a daily basis
- How do you view failure?
- What is one small thing that could improve your performance compared to yesterday? Or last quarter?
