Habits
of Mind
There are many types of
Habits of Mind lessons to know about, but there are three of them I am going to
tell you about. First one is to Apply past Knowledge to New Situations. This strategy
is for thoughts that think of a situation beforehand and improve the situation
further from happening and to a different situation. I think I have used this habit
of mind but a way I can use this is in school. I can study before a test and improve
my grade. Next, is Persisting this is seeing success through failure. Failing in
something is a good thing I believe it shows character if you look at failure
in a good way. I have used this before in a baseball game if you strike out
first time at bat there’s always the next time you come back up to bat and get
a hit. Then you’ve succeeded from failing the first time. Last of the Habits is
Striving for Accuracy. This Habit of Mind is not to be the best but to try and improve
on your own. My math skills aren’t very good and nether is my reading skill or
my writing. But I use this strategy at school not to be the best because I’m
not. But to improve in math, reading, and writing for myself is all that
matters. These are the three types of Habits of Mind that I used before and
will continue on using them to become a better person to succeed in the near
future.

ReplyDeleteI really like your baseball example, with the three strikes and I feel it is a good analogy for persisting. I'm glad you always stayed optimistic and I'm glad you didn't give up. I really hope the new strategy helps you with your math skills. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat I really liked about your post is that you are honest and facing what your weak areas in school are and how that has not let you quit your dreams. I like your example and how you really know not to give up and try harder next time around. You are doing great with realizing and being honest with yourself and learning how to make failure a weapon of success.
