Altu Gawande talks a lot about how having a coach can help understand what you are doing wrong and how you can improve. He says that a coach can help you make better decision and improve on what you already know. They can critique you on things that you may not know you are doing. Having a coach this semester in college has helped a lot. When I first started I was worried about how well I was going to do. With out first journals having a coach to show me what I was doing wrong then what I could improve on helped me see how well my work can be. Being able to have someone there to not give me all the answers but guide my way. When writing the artifacts I was so caught up on the idea that a paragraph has a structure of five sentences and a paper had just an intro, three body paragraphs and a conclusion. With my first article I had one big paragraph not really knowing what to do. With the help of Eric I found out that I could make my writing more effective by breaking it up. Instead of just doing it for me he showed me some tips then had me break up my own paper. Once I was done he would look over it then tell me what I did wrong and right. If i did it wrong then he would say what I did wrong then help me figure out how I can remember and how to fix it. Another thing coaches can do is give you praise. Telling you that you are doing something right is an amazing feeling. I have never been good at discussion and putting my thoughts out there. After the first week I wanted to know what I can do to do better in class. Having Jesse as a coach and being able to ask what I can do. Just hearing that i’m doing good and just speaking up more in class can help me out and better myself was what I needed to hear to have confidence in myself. Having a good coach that you know when you have problems and can go to really helps so then if you are struggling you can go to them for help. Having the Mid-semester report really helped me know how I am doing. Then writing about it after just let me see in writing that i’m not doing a bad job and i’m on the right path to getting where I want to be.

Then writing about it after just let me see in writing that i’m not doing a bad job and i’m on the right path to getting where I want to be. Being able to sit down and have the conversation about our work was showing me okay Im on the right path. Hearing it from Jesse was a good confidence boost because we hear that our work is good from Eric but he helps us out with that. Hearing out work is good from Jesse because its most reassurance for what we are doing in class.
Intro:
Coming from high school to college i’ve had to have a different mindset and seriousness about work than I have before. When I came to college I knew I had to put in more effort for work and take my classes more seriously. In my first three weeks I had an exam. I didn’t study as much because I thought I showed up to class I knew what I had to. Getting that grade back was not something I wanted to see. I did a lot worse than I thought and realized that I really needed to study and actually take time outside of class to look over materials. Normally if i got a bad grade in high school I didn’t care because it didn’t matter that much. So i pushed it aside and didn’t change anything. Now in college I want to strive to be better. Just in the matter of three weeks I had changed my mindset from fixed to growth and so far it has been doing me wonders. Having a fixed mindset means I never wanted to take the challenges or do the improvements I needed to be better. Now having a growth mindset I take the challenges, I don’t get down when something goes wrong but work to fix it and better my outcome. While in high school, the workload was easy, and I could have a fixed mindset about it. In college the workload is a lot harder and faster paces, with the need of a growth mindset. Knowing that high school and college arent the same in workload. College students need to be ready to make improvements and have that growth mindset. But working towards that growth mindset does come with a lot of challenges and takes a lot of work to achieve.
