My First Blog
Hello everyone,
Going through the process of setting up another gmail account was not hard at all. I already had a Gmail account prior to having my Buffalo State student e-mail.
Setting up my blog was pretty cool. I never had a blog before so creating one was interesting for me. Getting to pick out the theme and layout for my blog was fun. I found a theme and layout that connected with me.
Some things that I would like to learn from this course are techniques and various art forms. There are a lot a ways you can present art to society. Learning about the history of art and where certain elements of art originated from would be something to learn about as well.
In my opinion, taking an online course is a much better approach for schooling when you have a lot on your plate. You do not have to constantly worry about being late to class or missing a class when something goes wrong. Me being a mother I do not have to worry about finding a babysitter when I need to leave out for classes. So taking online courses are a great option for me.
Three things from the Growth Mindset videos that apply to me
1. Video #1
"Sacrifices I make now will pay off the future"
I question myself a lot when it comes to working hard and making sure that I have things done. I push myself even harder because I want to make something of myself one day. But I often forget that I have made a lot of sacrifices to get where I am today. It is okay to pat yourself on the back sometimes and realize everything you are putting yourself through today will pay off in the future.
2. Video #2
Fixed mindset vs Growth mindset "the ability to learn, the tendency to embrace challenges."
I have a growth mindset, I am always wanting to learn new things. Learning puts me at an advantage in life because I am always gaining knowledge and taking on challenges. Even though I may not understand something the first time does not mean I'll give up. A person who knows they need room for improvement, willing to educate themselves and take on challenges is a person who will get far in life.
3. Video#3 "There are no shortcuts to success.. Are you making it happen or waiting for it to happen?"
There is no easy way to become successful! You have to work hard in order for you to have some sort of success. You can not sit back and expect success to happen when there is no effort put forth in the process. Being successful takes time it does not happen overnight. These are some of the things that float around in my head when I think of success.
