Growth Mindset: Part 2

I thought Carol Dweck's video's about Growth Mindset Theory was interesting. It made me think of when I went to beauty school. I used to be very shy as a kid, probably up until I graduated beauty school. My mom is also a hair stylist. I remember when I was younger, before I got my driver's license, my brother and I would have to wait at the hair salon while she finished working. I can remember hearing her chit-chat with all her clients, always finding stuff to talk about. I thought, "How can you talk so much to someone? I wouldn't want to hear people talk about their lives all day long. I'd never be a hairstylist." I think part of the reason why I thought that I'd never be a hairstylist was because I thought it'd be too hard for me. Even while going through beauty school, I always felt like I was lagging and much farther behind the other students. Everyone else, including my mom, made doing hair look so easy, but when I tried to do it, it just didn't make sense in my head. Finally, one day, it totally just clicked. The light bulb finally lit up above my head. And it all made sense. But I think it's because I was exposed to it every day, and putting every ones different techniques together, essentially creating my own technique, it just finally worked for me. And perhaps that is my version of Growth Mindset Theory.
