Intro to Assignments

I am really looking forward to the different assignments in this coming semester for this class. By reading the overview of all the assignments it made me realize that this class is designed to keep me on track and to help me learn the most. I am excited for the storytelling part because I feel like that will be a way for me to express my creativity and show what I have learned so far. I also really enjoy reading so I think this will be fun and I can only imagine how interesting the readings are going to be. For the extra credit I am excited to research and learn more about the Growth Mindset because I thoroughly enjoyed that assignment and learning what the Growth Mindset is and how it can personally effect me. I have never had a class like this before and I am eager to see how it goes.  Source
