Test Review
In my calculus test I did a pretty horrible job with it. I made a silly mistake by confusing velocity and speed. I forgot that it was only speed that can't be negative. So in my free response, I only added the positive answer and ignored the negative, making me lose points. I learned that in a graph, the acceleration of a particle is zero when the graph goes completely horizontal and there in no tangent line in the velocity graph. I am still having a bit of trouble with graphing the acceleration in respect to time when given the graph of the velocity in respect to time.

Mindsets
- I think i have a growth mindset. I am one of those people that learns from their mistakes. I don't keep repeating them
- This mindset has helped me in math because whenever i get something wrong and i learn why i get it wrong i don't repeat the same mistake again. I may make other mistakes, but not the same one.
- I already knew that the mind is a big muscle that can be trained since i took psychology so i wasn't all that surprised. The brain is something that is always growing with information. Nothing is ever really forgotten it is just stored away in the back of ones mind.
- Well, with this i will attempt to find all my mistakes and even if i get criticized for them i will just take the criticism and use it to improve myself.
