Book Cover & Preview Text
Are You Growing? Dear Students, Regardless of what we do, we should always progress forward. Our daily routines and plans should be centered around this notion of experiencing growth. Although on some occasions, perceptions become reality, others’ opinions for the most part are truly irrelevant. Ultimately, it’s about our own journey and our own expectations. It is about embracing our uniqueness, our “weirdness,” our strengths and defects. We should always end the day by asking ourselves one simple question: “Did I learn something new today?”

About the Book
Dear Students…Weekly Thoughts to Establish a Growth Mindset is a compilation of weekly thoughts dedicated to all students going through an academic journey looking to get inspired when facing challenges. The purpose of the book is to motivate and encourage students to follow their dreams as much as possible. These thoughts are for students to know that everyone faces challenges, regardless of their appearance, level of success, experiences, and struggles. It is ultimately not about the challenges we face, but what we make of them, how we approach them, how we view them, and how we learn from them.
