Growth Mentality

I was looking into VIPKid mentioned in
ravengirl's journal. I've run across it before, but it requires teaching experience, and I have only a little. But I ran across some volunteer work doing roughly the same thing, so I should look into that. Plus my boss wants me to do more information literacy instruction. It's all good, especially because I want to teach English overseas. New skills to acquire.

One of the books that I was reading on the trip had to do with acquiring a growth mentality rather than a fixed mentality. For example, think about intelligence as something that you can acquire instead of something that you either have or don't have. I'm trying to acquire a growth mentality about public speaking. It's not something that I enjoy, but I'm sure that I can get better at it.
I must have been tired because I got 10 hours of sleep. And I needed the alarm to get me up. Don't know why I've been so tired. I might nap a little after my dental appointment.
It's good to have Zara on my lap. She's been hyper though. Now Mimi is on my lap. I think that they missed me.
