While I annoted the piece I highlighted things that I thought were really important and smart. I underlined things that most resonated with me and with my life. Some comments that I left were about how my way of thinking in school was mostly the fixed mindset because that is how I was taught in school and I really did not know what a growth mindset was until high school. I also made a note that cheating happened a lot in my high school to get an A instead of just studying more. I often thought about the benefit of an A instead of the benefit of learning. I thought As are good to get into college and did not think about the knowledge that I would need for college. Another note that I made was that nobody says “I really learned that topic,” but people often say “I got an A on that.” I also thought it was really awesome the good results that schools were getting with the not yet grading system.
