Growth Mindset

This assignment is my first time hearing about Carol Dweck, and the growth mindset. I think it's a very interesting idea, and I can see where Carol is coming from. While I do believe her methods may be slightly tough, or even drastic, I do agree with her to a certain degree. I do think that many young children are coddled, and are given participation trophies (verbally or physically) for small actions. I do agree with her that it is our job to push children while their brains are forming and changing, and that is what will help them grow. I think the important part here, is knowing how hard to push, and knowing when they have reached a limit. I think that all people learn in different ways and at different speeds, and this methodology may not be ideal for everybody. I think it would be safe to say I am pushed fairly hard in my studies, as well as my personal life. As an athlete, I am pushed mentally and physically harder than most, but that is something I have been accustomed to since I was young. I think that my life would look much different had I not been pushed in these ways growing up, and continue to be pushed in these ways even as a college student. Since I have been in college, I have learned that I really do like to be pushed. I thrive on deadlines, and work really well under pressure. These are qualities about myself that drew me in to the broadcast journalism field, and have helped me in my classes. I think that the growth mindset is very interesting, and since this is my first time hearing about it, I would love to learn more about it this semester.

Introduction- Haley Weger

Hi! I'm Haley Weger and I am a senior this year, graduating in May. I'm from a suburb of Houston, called Friendswood. My parents just bought a house on a small island near Galveston, so the next time I go home I will be living there. I am a Journalism major, on the broadcast track, with a minor in Human Relations. The best part about my major is that I am involved in our student-run newsroom through Gaylord, so I get real-life practice being on camera. I have the chance to learn all of the ropes and exactly how a real newsroom is run before I graduate! Outside of my classes and OU Nightly, I am also involved in greek life and the OU spirit program. I am starting my fourth year on the OU Pom Squad, and am also a member of Tri Delta. I also work at Ada High School on the side, teaching their pom squad. Right now my favorite TV shows I'm watching are Yellowstone and Ozark, but my all time favorites are New Girl and Friends. In the future, I would like to become a news or sport...

Week 15 Story: The King and His Queen/ Daughter

 Once upon a time, a King lived with his beautiful queen. Not only was she the most beautiful woman in all of the land, but she had the prettiest long, golden hair. Sadly, the queen was ill and was about to die. Before she died she begged her husband, "if you marry again, don't marry anybody as beautiful as me, and nobody with beautiful golden hair like mine." The King promised her this, right before she died. The King was devastated by the loss of the queen, and could not even think about remarrying. But, his councillors told him he would have to marry again so they could have a queen. They told him that he would have to start looking, because it wasn't right without a queen on the throne. He sent his servants all over the world to try to find a woman that was even half as beautiful as his late wife. But sadly, nobody could find a woman like her. Even the prettiest ones they could find did not have the long, golden hair like the queen. All of the servants came home o...

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I think the comments in feedback in this class are really helpful. It is great for me to get the comments that I can think about for my next story, or work on the revisions in those stories. I think the comments that are most helpful are the ones with suggestions to help either that story, or the next story. I have been trying to give constructive criticism, as well as point out the things I really like. This way, it may inspire some revisions, as well as keep the things that work really well, and look really great. It has been really cool to get to know the class in a different way, since we don't meet in person. But, reading everybody's writing and comments are a really cool way to get to know people in a different way.  I think this meme perfectly expresses how I feel in this class. It is easy for me to take criticism, because everybody is so helpful, and you can tell that everybody cares about each other's stories. ( cheezburger )
