English Class Reflective Essay

719 Words3 Pages

Since the beginning of the semester I knew I was going to struggle with english 73x. I’ve always had difficulties with my english classes because I never tend to fully comprehend it. I now find myself at the end of my first college semester and I can admit that I actually learned many things in this class. It began by learning how to input MLA formatting into my essays which helped me improve my writing. MLA formatting helped me improve my essays by making them more clear and understanding. In this class we read many books but one mainly taught me how to improvise my writings. The book is called, “They Say, I Say”. This book helped me improve my writings by giving me different writing templates and examples of correct ways to input them in my essays or arguments. We also read a book called, “D.R.I.V.E” this book had its up and downs but I was able to learn the differences in Type I and Type X behavior. Reading D.R.I.V.E. helped me understand which type of behavior I am. Which I found out that I’m more in the middle of both Type X and Type I Behavior.

I believe this because I always continue forward no matter what is in my way and I always use my failures as more of a reason to continue on until I rise back

    In her essay, “Inside the Mindsets” (2005), Carol Dweck contrasts the two different mindsets and they are fixed mindset and growth mindsets. She talks about how fixed mindsets are all about who you are. For example, the characteristics traits such as the personality, how smart you are, and how creative the person is. Those who have fixed mindsets, sees criticism as an attack and they will try to avoid it.

    There are two known mindsets, a fixed mindset, and a growth mindset. The two may sound similar, but they are quite different. A growth mindset is a good mindset; it allows you to believe in yourself, it lets you try new things, and it helps you never give up. On the other hand there is the fixed mindset; this mindset is one that everyone has on some part or aspect of their life. A fixed mindset, as it sounds, makes your thoughts stay fixed about something; for example if someone is not good at math they might say that they are not a math person.
