This weekend I shared the concept of the Growth Mindset with my dad. Previously, I have mentioned how my dad has always pushed me to grow and has focused only on my improvement from my previous level, not simply what grade I got. I decided to talk to him about it and see what he had to say. He told me that he had not specifically heard of the term before but he was very familiar with the actual concept and has always tried to instill it on me and my brother. He said he had learned about it from his work several years ago, because he is a manager of quite a large team of engineers and they wanted to apply the growth mindset to work too. I told him I really appreciated him doing that for me too and that I really felt like it helped me growing up. I am glad I talked to him about it and I am pleasantly surprised that he already knew about it!

Hey again Sarah. It was nice to read about how you shared the Growth Mindset experience with your father. I too believe that the experience and knowledge gained outweighs greatly the letter grade we may receive. It was really cool to read about how your father already had experience with growth mindset and all the aspects he had to bring regarding it.
