Growth Mindset

I learned a little about Growth Mindset last semester in the Myth-Folklore class. I really enjoyed the video's about "The Power of Yet". I really liked the video Believing you can improve from this semesters list. No matter what I do, I try and do the best and be the best at it especially if it is a competitive activity. I may not be the greatest at it when I am first starting out, but I always try to improve and get better. I do have some personal goals this semester, primarily to finish the semester strong with good grades as this is my last semester in school if everything goes well. Another goal I have is to lose some weight before my summer trip to Disney world.

    Jake, it is awesome that you had a chance to take one of Laura's courses before. I have really enjoyed this online format, so I wish I had the chance to do the same. It is also my last semester (if everything goes well, like you said!) best of luck to you with your courses and have a blast at Disney!

    Hi Jake!

    I would like to take another course with Laura because I have enjoyed Indian Epics so much! I think improvement is a huge component of the growth mindset because if you choose to acknowledge there's room for improvement, you are allowing yourself to further reach for the starts. Good luck with the rest of the semester!

Introduction to a Comm Major's Gamer Life

Hello everyone,  My name is Jake Compton and I am a Senior Communication Major. I have been in college since FA 2012 and have changed my major a few times starting with Chemical Engineering, moving to Finance, and finally settling on Communication. Initially I went to The University of Tulsa and played football my freshman year, but the struggles of football plus Chem E. was a lot to handle and I ended up transferring out and going to community college for a while. Finally making my way to OU as a Finance major however after doing very bad in Calc 2  I finally switched to Communication. Lucky for me, I want to be a sales rep. for a chemical company such as Chevron Phillips, Exxon, Shell, etc. and there are many majors that I can use to achieve that. After quitting football I was looking for something to do competitively and my brother introduced me to Magic: The Gathering and I have been playing that semi-competitively since 2013 and plan on being more competitive after graduation.

Week 11 Story: The Turtle that couldn't stop talking

Once upon a time, there was a lonely turtle in living in a pond all alone. He saw two geese that were flying south for the winter and they passed by his pond. He called up to them and they flew down to him and they stuck up a conversation. Soon, the three of them became very close friends and they spent the entire winter with the turtle. The turtle showed the two geese around his small little pond and showed them the best places to look for food and where the best places to swim were. However, at the end of winter the geese were leaving to go back to their home. The geese noticed the sad look on the turtle’s face as they were telling him that they needed to go back to their home. As the turtle turned around and began to turn away to head back to the pond, the geese called out to the turtle and asked the him if he would like to join them and go to their home with them so they can continue to be friends. They said they would bring him with them if he did not talk at all along the trip an
