This week has changed my view of failure vs success in school and in life in many ways. Firstly I always felt that if I failed a quiz or a test, that my life is ruined. I always felt like a failure, I felt that I wasn't smart and that I will always be a failure. Which I learned this isn't true failing isn't going to ruin your life, and future. Learning from your failures help you succeed and grow.
For example for our passion project, I have had so many failed ideas and after days and weeks of failing to find something I passionate about, I have finally found something thatI am very passionate about. After many bad ideas, I realized that it helped me going through many bad ideas, to finally find the perfect idea. Many people are so afraid to fail, because they think they can't succeeded. Advice I would give to anyone that has failed and feel that they will always be a failure. You're only human, failing is a part of life. Success is not one goal, success should be continuous. Yes sometimes we fail. But failing can help you grow, and learn from those mistakes.
Growth Mindset means that your intelligence can be developed. That there is space for growth, there is room to learn more. A highschool grading system does this thing where if you failed a course and instead of failing the they put the grade as "Not Yet". It shows that they need improvement in an area. It doesn't mean you're not smart enough to pass this class or course it means that you're not ready to move on to a higher level of that subject just quite yet. It tells the student that they need to work harder, in that subject because they are capable at doing their best.
