According to the results of my assessment, I have a mixed mindset. Even though I think people may develop and improve, I occasionally question my abilities when faced with difficulties. Although, I appreciate effort and persistence, I might become discouraged when things go slowly. I value constructive criticism, but sometimes I take it personally. The accomplishments of others inspire me, yet I occasionally make negative comparisons to myself. Even though I understand that errors are teaching moments, I still have a fear of failing. Additionally, I always seem help whenever I need it.

​

My mixed mindset is reflected in how I manage my time after becoming a mother while combining my personal and academic obligations. At first, I felt overburdened and questioned my capacity to manage everything. But I discovered by trial and error that the secret to staying on course is to be persistent, plan ahead, and set priorities.

My approach to cultivating a growth mindset involves enhancing my time management skills, breaking down difficult activities into manageable chunks, learning from failures, and setting consistent routines.

​

By creating to-do lists and setting deadlines for chores, I maintain my organisation. I allow myself to be flexible in order to adjust to unforeseen obstacles and ask people who have gone through similar things for help.

One of the biggest challenges was adjusting to parenting while still going to school. At first, I was overwhelmed and questioned my capacity to be successful in both fields. Rather than giving up, I set routines, looked for help, and used time management techniques. I eventually developed the confidence to manage several tasks, proving that perseverance and flexibility pay off.

 

In conclusion, even though I can still improve, I'm determined to take on difficulties, develop from failures, and improve how I handle tasks.
