As I struggled to create a beautiful story for my Adaptive Mindset Assignment, my fiancé Brandon helped with ideas and tried to keep my frustration to a minimum. I also took into consideration critiques received on prior posts from Arthur and Courtney. I used that advice to help write this. My project is a mixture of two prior posts, transitioning to college, this I believe, and a new topic of switching from a fixed mindset to an adaptive mindset. I chose this topic because I feel my story is relatable. Not only am I writing this for my self and for this assignment, but also maybe... just maybe it will inspire someone. Maybe my story will light a spark in someone the way my fiancé lit a fire in me. I hope to create and inspire passion! I have been working on this concept and brainstorming ideas over the course of the semester through all of my blog posts. I spent a great deal of time at home sitting on my couch typing away on my laptop, editing and revising. I also had My fiancé and a few other people (Courtney, Arthur, Ben, Seth, Mangini, Lorisa) read and critique my project prior to posting it. All of them had the same feedback - my story had strong emotion, however initially my focus was unclear.
