Description

Grit and Growth

The theme this week (“Friends and Enemies”) introduced the idea that tangible or intangible resources or obstacles can serve as your friends and enemies as you pursue your college degree. Note that your friends and enemies can be interpreted as your opportunities and threats. If you have not yet read this week’s lectures or viewed the videos, please do so before starting this assignment.

Address the following items in your paper:

1.Opportunities and Threats

a.As we discussed last week, a SWOT analysis is a tool that helps businesses and individuals assess their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. For this assignment, you will focus on Opportunities and Threats.

b.To generate your list of Opportunities, explore the Grantham catalog or website to identify at least three opportunities (resources) you will rely on the most as you pursue your degree. Write a paragraph of at least 250 words to convey your opportunities.

If you do not think you have demonstrated grit in the past, describe an instance in which you failed to accomplish a big goal and describe how you would act differently if you had a chance to try again.

3.Growth Mindset

a.Look up some information about Dr. Dweck’s Growth Mindset. Type the words dweck growth mindset into your favorite internet search engine. Select one source (be sure to write down the URL) and while reading/viewing that source, take some notes about what points the author is making.

4.Comparison of Grit and Growth Mindset

a.Write a paragraph of at least 250 words in which you describe the growth mindset, and how it relates to grit.

1. To generate your list of Opportunities, explore the Grantham catalog or website to
identify at least three opportunities (resources) you will rely on the most as you
pursue your degree. Write a paragraph of at least 250 words to convey your
opportunities.
There exist several opportunities present in the college that I can take advantage of during my
study. These opportunities are both from within the school and others from without. Below is a
list of opportunities present during my study.


Internship programs offer exposure to students and are potential opportunities for
students. There exist yearly internship programs for students in the college where they are
taken by both local and international companies and they are trained about the real world
of work. During the internship, the students are trained and get skills relevant to their
field of study.



Scholarship programs are the other opportunities that I enjoy .they are either full or
partial where students are selected to go to study in other countries so that they gain
experience. These are mostly for higher levels.



Exchange programs are the other opportunity that I have .there are several students who
are chosen yearly to go study in other universities so that they have firsthand experience
on how the other universities studies are carried out.



Mentorship programs are the other opportunities that I have in the college. There are
mentorship programs from the alumni’s of the colleges who give guidance to students
about school and work life.
