Do you really think changing your mindset can change your grades for the better?

I honestly think changing your mindset can change your grades for the better because when you think positive you get positive, and when you think negative you get negative. From personal experience everytime I have a fixed mindet I give up and fail. When I change my mindset to a growth mindset I see myself suceed. I see myself doing so much better. I pass my classes, do all my work, come to school, and I see a positive change. I believe changing your mindset can change your grades for the better.

My Opinion On Public Education In The Bronx

I feel like some of the requirements that you need to complete in order to graduate or even get promoted to the next grade are unnecessary. For example in order to get promoted to the next grade in Middle School or even in Elementary you must pass the New York state ELA and Math exam. In highschool you must pass a certain amount of Regents in order to graduate. I find test taking very pointless. I dont believe a test determines a students intelligence. Many students might fail because they're under a lot of pressure or are nervous about failing.

What Failure Looks Like

In my opinion failure is when you give up. When you dont give it your all, and you dont work to the best of your ability. I feel like I have failed at something when I didn't try my best or I know I could've done better and I chose not too. Another form of failure can be when you tell yourself over and over you can't do something.
