In the Carol Dweck Article, Carol is saying that parents is going about growth mindsets the wrong way. A lot of students believes that intelligence is a fixed trait. Carol explains to the parents how they should praise their children them the right instead of telling them "they're smart or that's what is expected". Carol wants the parents and teachers to praise the efforts of the children is putting out in the class room and say things such as, "I'm proud that you tried really hard," or "I see how much effort you put into this."
In the Alfie Kohn Article, it basically tells you the goods and bad about Carol research. The article goes more into depth about changing the way how educators teach kids. This article criticize and give advice towards Carol research. Fixed-Mindset people believe their basic qualities (intelligence or talent) are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They believe that you either are or aren’t good at something, based on your inherent nature, because it’s just who you are. Growth Mindset people believe anyone can be good at anything, because your abilities are entirely due to your actions. They keep up their confidence by always pushing into the unfamiliar, to make sure they’re always learning. I believe I have a growth mindset because I was always willing to learn new things, I've never had a thought in my mind saying "I can't learn this or that".

When I moved to another state after 9th grade year, I felt like I lost most of my friends. Back in 9th grade (freshmen days) , when you have like a thousand friend's lol. The plan was to move somewhere else within the same state but as situations became worse around the area we lived at, my mom wanted to move somewhere kind of far. Although I knew my mom wanted to move far but I didn't know to another state at the time I didn't care where'd we've moved to, I just wanted to move out that house. I was so excited to move that, I didn't think I was going to miss anyone when I moved besides one person. Fast forward towards 10th grade year, start of a new school year in a different state not knowing anybody. After a couple months go by I'm starting to miss some of the people I use the hang with. Throughout the rest my high school career nothing really felt the same no more, sure I met some new people but things were different. Like back in 9th grade I played for the football team and was really motivated to get a scholarship for football, I guess some that motivation came from playing with people that I actually grew up with. In 10th grade I've played for the football team, in the beginning I was still motivated but as the season went on I've became less motivated. Even though we've made the playoffs that year, football don't feel the same when you not playing with the people you grew with. After that year I just stopped playing, just lost the will to play even though they did win the championship that next year. After High school I feel like everything different now since I came back...
I actually never heard of the word hiraeth before coming into this class, but whenever hear that word it makes me think about territory or something like it. After researching the word I have a clear sense of what the word actually mean. Now I know its something that deals with being sad over some type of lost or being departed.
In my writing process....
Once I get focused, I feel like I can write 4 pages without stopping for more than two minutes. Whenever I'm in the mood for writing, ideas come to my head left and right. when I start my writing process , the first thing I do is gather my thoughts, brainstorm some ideas. If that doesn't work I would try to find some ideas from like music, shows, walk around out in the city, internet, etc, and to manipulate it to try to come up with an idea. I probably should write down the ideas on paper but I tend to always do things in my head. Second, I think about how to start off the introduction. I feel like that's the most important part of the story or some type of writing assignment and that's where I take the most time on because a strong intro should determine weather the reader should keep reading or not. Once I get that part down it's pretty much easy flowing. After that, I just read over it a few times make sure it makes since. In Why I Write , Joan Didion explores her writing. Didion echoes the ideas
