Welcome to College

1. What does college offer and expect of you?

- College offers many opportunities that will help me succeed in life. For example, if I get all my

degrees and use my resources around me, I will be able to find a great, good-paying job or

maybe my dream job as being an equine vet. The college expects from every student to abide by

their rules and do your best by getting good grades and achieving your goal and graduate with

your dreams at hand.

2. What thinking skills can help you achieve your goals?

- To achieve my goal I must think in three different ways: analytical, creative, and practical. By

putting these into practice I am able to achieve my goals. Thinking analytical helps me gather all

the information that is given to me and helps me ask questions. Creative thinking helps me find

different ways to understand the material and making it known to me in a different way.

Practical thinking means to put your knowledge into practice. The more practice one gets the

better they are.

3. How can a "growth mindset" help you succeed?

- By having a growth mindset I am able to expand my knowledge and learn more each and every

day. A growth mindset will help me succeed because I will be able to learn from my failures and

achieve what needs to be done, by anaylizing my mistake inorder to succeed in life. My self-

esteem will also grow as I succeed in college and I will also have to face my fears to excel in my

studies.

do.
