GRIT

Throughout my entire experience living, I have tried numerous things that require substantial amounts of grit. I have tried them all, and I have persevered through most things. <br/>Being gritty doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be the strongest, or the fastest, or be the most courageous. It just means you have to be willing to carry through with whatever you have decided to do, in the long term, or in the short term.

Thank you for reading, and I hope I have inspired you to think more openly, and grow as a person.

Failure is good. It might not be good to begin with, but eventually failure can help. This year, I will probably fail hundreds of times, in tasks big and small. Sometimes I will get frustrated, but I will never lose my will to keep trying.

Fixed mindsets and growth mindsets aren’t permanent, but each have lasting impacts over time. Having a fixed mindset can impact your life negatively, while having a growth mindset can impact you positively over time.

School. School is a cause of anxiety for many students around the world, whether they be in grades 1 or 10. School is usually seen as a decade of torture, followed by four more years of torture, and then more optional torture. Would life be easier if school wasn’t in the way? I don’t think so. Aside from the fundamentals of education, school also teaches many other things like being able to fail, and being able to have a growth mindset. 

I think that I have reasonable amounts of grit. I scored a 3.24 on my grit test, which I think is pretty reasonable coming from me. Although this is a decent score, I still think there is always room for improvement.

Having determination can help you achieve things you didn’t think you could accomplish.

Growth Mindset in all subjects is difficult. No one is perfect, but grit and effort can really help someone achieve their goals.
