My Notes and Assignments for Code Fellows Code 102

Growth vs Fixed Mindset Graph

Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Xin Deng and here is the link to my Github portfolio page! The first assignment is to create my first project on Github and make a reading-notes repository after learning markdown for the first time. I plan on putting all assignment instructions on here to keep a record because I have a bad memory so it’ll be nice to have everything here. The different features I’ve used for this assignment are heading, lists/nested list, styling: italics and bold, links, images, and emojis 😉 You can check it out here in my Class 01 section and also make sure to check out my progress in other classes by utilizing the Table of Contents below.

What is a growth mind set and what are 3 reminders to myself to keep myself in a growth mindset?

A growth mindset is believing your intelligence and abilities can always improve and grow with an effort to learn and a determination to push through obstacles, which comes from running towards challenges as opportunities for growth.

  1. I do have a tendency to delay the start of something when I feel stuck, so I need to remind myself to walk away for a moment to calm the anxiety enough to feel motivated again to continue the task at hand.
  2. I tend to also think the worst first and it overshadows the good, so I would like to start assessing aspects of my day or task I’m doing with what I did well on and what I can improve and learn from that criticism.
  3. When I get overwhelmed I tend to start comparing myself to others who understand better than I do, but I need to remind myself that everyone started from somewhere and it’s not a race, but a journey of understanding that comes with failures and that’s ok.
