Fixed Mindset vs. Growth MindsetI am a slow reader.I am not good at English.I am not good at school.I am bad at tests.I am stupid.

I am proving myself right!

Fixed Mindset vs. Growth MindsetI need to understand what is being asked of me.I need to find help.I need to focus on what I am doing and not be distracted by those around me.I need to have confidence in my abilities.I need to realize that failure is perfectly fine, but that not trying does not give me a chance to succeed.I can learn to do this!
