Growth Mindset

I had never heard of Carol Dweck or the growth mindset before watching the ted talk. I can relate to the growth mindset in terms of film making. Past films I have made are hard to look on because of the scrutiny and advice I've received from teachers in my time learning at the University of Oklahoma. If I look at old films and current film I am making as a step towards greatness instead of a step towards failure I am more likely to create more films with the idea of growth in mind rather than skill. I may be more interested in learning more if there are aspects of growth mindset that can help me learn better.

With that in mind, in the future I'm hoping to make or take part in making some horror films as a career. I live with a few roommates in Norman, one of those being my little brother. I have two dogs, both of them are pomskys (Pomeranian ...

Favorite Place

My favorite place hides in the woods along a hidden path. The birds chirp, the water flows freely and subtly, and the sun peaks through the treetops providing warmth. Roots seem to overflow and take over the ground that holds them. It's quiet and loud at the same time. This place exists in many places around the world, but it is one I find the most solace in.
