I had never heard of Carol Dweck nor her growth mindset until today. I want to say that I have that I was raised with a sort of growth mindset and maybe I can attribute my academic success to that. My dad had worked landscaping since he came to the United States and in 2016, my freshman year in high school, he quit his job and became his own boss. At first it was a bit slow, but eventually, things picked up. The summer after my freshman year I started working for my dad, not really because I wanted to but because I had too.
