Reading Notes over Jatakas Anthology

I really enjoyed reading all of the stories but there were two that really stuck out to me and these were the one about the Crane and the Crab as well as The Crocodile and the Monkey's Heart. For both of these stories I enjoyed how the tricksters who were able to outsmart the bigger animal were prey and they outsmarted an animal who is normally the predator. They reminded of the turtle and the hare story we're told as children. I also really liked how the Crocodile and the Monkey's Heart story ended with a poem to explain the moral of the story. I am looking forward to retelling one of these stories.

Growth Mindset: Cats

Using the randomizer I found a couple of cats that I really liked either because they were cute, funny, relatable, or all of the above! The first one was adorable and very accurate. I've found the more I write the better I get at it, especially when it comes to my personal statements. The second meme made me laugh. I've always been a goal setter and while it can be sad to miss your goal it's good to even get close to reaching it because there is always next time! Cat Meme 1 Cat Meme 2

Growth Mindset Cats Edition!

I haven't done a growth mindset all semester so I figured I should go ahead and do one :) Here are my three favorite cat memes from Pinterest! The reason I like the first on is because I definitely relate to the study hard and then take a break. I do it all the time and seeing a cute kitten napping is just adorable. The second one really spoke to me about getting my homework and grad school applications done in a timely manner. It's been difficult balancing everything and still having a life. (I go out of town almost every week so I have to finish everything by Thursday, typically.) However, I think I've done a good job at making sure when I'm working I'm actually working and being effective. The last one relates back to my grad applications. I've had multiple revisions on my personal statement, but it's been good for me to receive feedback so that I can make my statement the best it can be. Meme 1 Meme 2 Meme 3
