🌟 Growth Mindset in Action at MCHS! 🌟
Dr. Tucker’s students took on an inspiring challenge: find a real or fictional character who embodies a growth mindset—someone who faced obstacles, leaned into perseverance, and came out stronger.
From courageous heroes to clever animals, these characters aren’t just stories—they’re role models! Students shared what they admire most about these figures and reflected on how those qualities compare to their own journeys.
💬 “I chose [Character Name] because they never gave up, even when things seemed impossible. I see that same determination in myself when I…”
This activity reminds us that growth isn’t about being perfect—it’s about learning, adapting, and pushing forward.
