Growth Mindset

I believe the growth mindset is a good tool for learning. A person doesn't learn new things unless they are challenged, of course. Personally, I think I am a little in between a growth-minded and a fixed-minded person. There are a lot of ideas that I can open up to, such as hearing different strategies to accomplish a task. However, there are also some circumstances where I don't want to change my opinion, and can become stubborn or stuck on an idea. I don't think everyone needs to be super open minded, however. The problem I have with the growth mindset philosophy is that constantly being challenged and tested on one's abilities will eventually lead to a great amount of stress in the body. Although we think of stress as just an emotion, it is actually very harmful to our bodies longterm and can be responsible for a lot of chronic health problems. It is OK to not be challenged sometimes, because our brain needs a break from super challenging critical thinking every now and then.

Introduction to a Future Physical Therapist

Howdy y’all, my name is Ethan Rafferty, a 3 rd  year student at the University of Oklahoma. I’ve been a sooner fan since I was born, because my Dad attended the university, so I was raised around the culture. One could say that I was brainwashed to go here, but I truly do love the school, from the academics, to the campus, to the sports. I am 21 years old, and I am from Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb just north of Dallas. There, I was raised by my mother and father with my two sisters. I am the middle child, and also the only boy, so it was quite the experience growing up with my siblings.              My major is Health Exercise Science. I did not initially come to OU with that as my plan, but after my first semester, I realized that natural sciences and exercise physiology interested me way more than any business degree. I believe the best part about my major is that it can allow me to help others once I graduate, including rehabbing those who suffered an injury or improving someon

Week 9 Story: How the Boys Learned to Shoot

Image
Two young boys were out playing basketball in their front yard on a bright and sunny day. One of the boys, Alex, shot the ball up, but it got stuck between the rim and the backboard. Oh no! They were too short to reach it, and had no way of getting it down. Suddenly, a tall man wearing a #24 Laker’s jersey appeared, and saw the boys’ problem. He walked up to the basketball hoop, and used his long arms to grab the ball from the rim. He handed the ball back to Alex and Jack, smiling to them. The boys ran inside and told their dad of the giant basketball player outside. When their dad came out, he immediately recognized the man as Kobe Bryant.             Kobe explained to the three that he wished to train the boys so that they may help him win a bet against one of his old friends, Shaq. Shaq had challenged Kobe, saying that he could find and train two kids to beat Kobe in a 3-on-3 basketball game. Kobe accepted the challenge, and was now looking for two kids to train and become his
