Reflection 1

What I have realized about my own grit and effort

I have realized that my grit and effort is the reason I get As on some of my school work

My grit and effort could be improved in school because a lot of the time when I can’t do something I want to give up.

Where do I show grit and effort.

School

Sports

How could I use these skills more

When I show grit in school and sports it means I have to not quit, be a problem solver, be patient. How can I use these skills more? I can use these skills more by being patient with myself when I am stuck in my homework. I also like to avoid art parts of projects and maybe I could show grit by not quitting those parts. With my iPad there are many different ways to do artistic things that if I give it a try, I could do.

Fixed Mindset On the the Disasters of Overhand Serving

I have a fixed mindset when I try to do an overhand serve in volleyball. Why? I have yet to get it over from the back line or even from mid way up the court. The ball does not go high or in the right direction. If I was shooting from the border I would hit Alberta. Underhand serving is successful, but I have not been able to figure out overhand serving. I have to realize that there is a lot of different things to happen for me to get it over the net. It is not as easy as it seems. There is strength, timing, and a perfect throw. With practice and patience I will eventually succeed.
