When I think about how far I have come since I first created this blog I think if all the challenges that brought me here. I think about how hard coding still is for me and all the times I have been asked why don't I just switch majors? But why would I do that? Just because coding is hard for me, does not mean I'll never get it. In fact, I think the challenge coding brings me is what keeps me pushing to earn this degree and become proficient in it. There were times when I wanted to give up, but I knew I couldn't. This is the Growth Mindset! We need to know that we may fail but that is the process and the only real way to learn. When we give up, we really learn nothing. If you struggle with change or challenges then I recommend Dr. Carol Dweck, she has great TED talks on the growth mindset that can be found on YouTube. Thanks for reading and I hope your semester is off to a great start!
