Growth Mindset: The Beginning to the End

Growth mindset is the best mindset. Source: TeachThought.
I experience the strongest growth mindset when I consider myself apart from my academics and extracurriculars. Instead, I focus on who I am as a person, what my passions are, how I define them, and what I can do to better myself as this ideal person. Realizing imperfections are not a bad thing works well for me to adapt a growth mindset. I've come to the conclusion that imperfections are what allow people to be unique and without imperfections, you cannot improve yourself, your ambitions, nor can you understand how to move forward from mistakes and hurdles encountered. Now, whenever something does not go as planned, I do my best to remain calm and focus on how I can get over this set back. Of course, I think it's human nature to be upset and express your true emotions if you are distressed, but the most important thing to remember is to never give up your original passion.

One of the ceaseless reasons for my career pursuit stems from my advocacy to increase accessible healthcare. Ten years from now, I see myself traveling to developing countries such as my parents’ motherland, Bangladesh, to make healthcare, and healthy lifestyles in general, more opportune. I truly believe we all can live in a better world if we help others delve into happiness as we do so ourselves.  Medical school: a goal of mine for as long as I can remember! Source: flickr Aside from my biggest hopes and dreams, just like most college students, I find myself stressed during midterms, semester projects, and piecing together the puzzle that is life! In the midst of an incredibly busy schedule, however, I am sure to make time for a little fun. During winter break, I vacationed in ...
