School can be like a masquerade, but with less romance and more tension. When I was a teen I started to realize and learn that people can be different, sometimes people use these changes as an advantage which caused people to act like somebody else as if they were putting a “mask” This applies to having a “mindset”, in this case they’re relatively closer to having a fixed mindset, whereas some people will not be afraid at all that they will rather embrace it which makes them have a mindset closer to a growth mindset. In addition to further understanding of mindsets, the mindset are the growth mindsets and the fixed mindsets which were both established by Professor Dweck a Psychology professor at Stanford University.

Neuroplasticity introduces the brain getting used to something throughout repetition that it can also become second nature. In other words, it is that a new pathway will be made (stronger) and older pathways (weaker) will be forgotten since you and your brain are developing a more efficient strategy to remember. This method applies mostly to people with a flexible mind which we now know is the people with growth mindsets. Since these people believe that effort is the main strategy to get better they try to have a positive attitude towards most of the things. We might think “don’t people with a fixed mindset also apply to having neuroplasticity?” Yes - you are sure right, however since people with fixed mindsets believe in the ability that they own/posses rather than their potential that they do not notice that they have. This leads them from preventing themselves from achieving those new pathways that the brain can obtain for them to make stuff easier. Therefore, at the moment out of the two we can predict that with a growth mindset you’re more likely to have greater academic success.

Everyone has the same amount of chances in life but it only comes to you if you reach out for it and put enough effort which means that if you are dedicated and willing to not give up. This lesson is important because if I haven’t learnt from my mistakes or past I might have still be a stubborn person who would not try to do anything new and not believe in hope. This lesson means a lot to my continuing journey since it has been a major experience that made me believe in myself and also remind me that I can be the change that I want to see in the world. In the hope that, as students we have to have a growth mindset but also as whom who has to teach someone to a totally new thing to them, in Professor Dwecks words she says “you have to praise the process within a growth mindset” Of course by now you may think that it is great to have a growth mindset but forcing one another to obtain it doesn’t work since it is like trying to help someone make a puzzle. You need to think and explain your strategy that you have in your mind of how you connect the pieces that go together first before you just splatter out all the answers and lose the
