"Growth Mindset"

Success only happens when you experience growth from unfamiliar things:

Perfection is Never Easy

I never heard of Carol Dweck or the growth mindset before. But reading through this assignment about growth mindset I think as children we should experience new things; even if we fail. Failure is a sign of knowledge we gained for future reference. And taking this knowledge will help us learn and gain a sense of growth each year.

I do not quiet have a full detailed understanding of this "Growth Mindset" but during this course time I hope to have a better understanding of the true meaning and why some people agree on growth mindset and why some people "Never" want thier kids to experience growth.

Introduction to a Furture Vet

Hello , My name is Andrea Brisby , but I prefer to go by "Brisby". Brisby is just like Frisbee but replace the "F" with a Brisby. I am from Lawton, Oklahoma, but I plan on moving out of Oklahoma after I finish my schooling.

Attending the Unversity of Oklahoma has always been a dream of mine since 2nd grade so being here for four years, my time is coming to an end and it is bitter sweet; but more sweet then anything.  I am a fourth year senior, my major is Biology Pre-Vet. To show you guys my spark of intrest let me tell you about my trip to Exotic Animal Park . Being able to be within a few feet of these big animals brought joy to my heart.

Something cool about my major is that in the future I will be taking care of "YOU" my fellow classmates animals. So, if you ever get the chance to talk or ever meet me, you will know that your animal is in good hands.

I want to share with my classmates Two very special things in my life that keep me sane when things start to get rough. First let me introduce my My Daughter . Raising her from a young baby to one years old I have seen her grow so fast, that each memory was captured. If I did not have my daughter in my life I do not know where I would be at this very moment. Her name is Reign and if you ever want to babysit her, just let me know. She is the sweetest child you will ever come across. Her birthday was December 3rd.

The Second Special thing I want to share is my Boyfriend:

(High School Sweet Hearts (Poem)) est. 2011

"back in the day"

(My Future) est. 2017

From Sophomore in High School to my Senior Year in College this young man by the name of "General" (yes this is his real name) has been by my side. He changed my life for the best and after 6 years of spending my life with this man, I can not wait to see what the future holds. He makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the world. I could go on and on about why he is so special in my life but I will stop here.

Overall, I am a bubbly, energized individual that loves to watch movies, eat waffle house, and spend time with my daughter and boyfriend.  

StoryBook Favorites

This assignment was interesting, being able to search through the different Storybooks I was able to come across three different ones that caught my attention. Being that my major is Biology , Pre-Vet I tried to find ones that pertained to animals and luckily I found three different ones.

The Himalayan Elephant

This was the first Storybook I came across. Reading through the different tabs in the storybook it told a story about two little boys that lived in a village between the Himalayan Mountains. These two little boys only knew about the village, but when they heard other people in the village discussing about a Himalayan Elephant that was magical; this sparked their interest to go on a search for this elephant. These two friends knew that leaving the village was a bad idea simply because anything outside the village was dangerous, but they were determined to find this animal.

Zoo Animal History

The second Storybook was titled "Zoo Animals History". This one was interesting because people attended this Zoo Park on a Trolley . During this tour the tourist were taken to different parts of the park. The first place they stopped at was a underwater cave where they learned about fish, but I wonder how they were able to go underwater? The trolley they rode on must of been magical.

Elephants of Indian Epics

The last Storybook I came across was about the Elephants of Indian Epics. Reading through this storybook I noticed that this Indian Epics Elephant was a big symbol for the two little boys that begged their father to tell them a bed time story before they went to sleep. This majestic elephant of Indre. As their father was telling the boys the story he told them what the elephant symbolized. The Patient Elephant which brought another story into their bedtime.

The reasons I picked all three of these stories was because anything that has to pertain to animals always draw my attention. So, being able to find some Storybooks to related to stuff that interest me was exciting!  

 

favorite place

I like to visit places that have animals insight or where I am able to interact with them.

So, this weekend I took my boyfriend to The Greater Wynnewood Animal Park. Arriving at the park there were so many BIG cats just a few feet away inside different enclosures with food, water and toys. Being in this type of environment brings so such joy and happiness to me. During the tour we went inside a environment with Large White Wolves  . Once we got inside the enclosure we were able to go over and rubbed the wolves. They real life loved being starched like domesticated dogs.
