One event where I had a growth mindset was when taking AP Statistics last year in school. I had never taken honors or AP math before and I would always take easier math classes because I didn’t think I was good at math, but my precalc teacher encouraged me to take the class. I was somewhat nervous to take AP Stats because I thought it would be really difficult, as I never really liked math. However, I feel that I went into the class with an open mind, and I put a lot of effort into the work from the class. I found that the more effort I put into a chapter and completing all the assignments to the best of my ability, I would do better on the tests. Something that was helpful to me and encouraged a growth mindset, was that after tests and quizzes we could go over any problems we had gotten wrong to see where we had made mistakes and learn from them .
