Essay: Imagine that you are facing a challenge and you are not sure you can be successful. Name three things you could do to raise your belief in yourself.
Student Answer: -Remember what strategies I used in other difficult situations and use the relevant ones to overcome the present struggle.
-Understand/think about the fact that almost no one is good at something right when they start it. Realize that new challenges take new effort and new skills so comparing myself to the person that has already overcome what I'm struggling with is unfair.
-Remind myself that learning is a valuable thing; if I feel that something is hard for me and keep trying to work through it, I will learn something in the process even if I don't have exactly the results I hoped for. |
