Part 1
Directions: Respond thoroughly and honestly to each prompt.
1. Describe how you felt when you read through your results of the Mindset Assessment. Were you surprised? Did you agree? Why or why not? Provide examples to support your response.
Answer: I really was not all that surprising about the results of my Mindset Assessment test. I agree with the results. My results state that I am a Dynamic learner. Now that I know what kind of learner I am, I can strive to be a better learner. My results taught me that I use everything at a use first level. For example, when fixing something or doing homework I have to use systematic directions. My directions have to be clear and precise. My results also state that I am a strong-willed learner. I believe that I can control my plans, ideas, my decisions,

4. What did you learn about yourself from the Assessment? (What were your major strengths and weaknesses? How do you react to these results? How can you build on strengths and minimize or eliminate weaknesses?)
After taking all of these assessments, I learned a great deal about myself. I am now able to pinpoint several strengths I possess that I was unaware of beforehand.
On Friday 12/16/2016 at about 0135 hours, Security Staff was dispatched to the Special Care Unit, ED. room #37 for a code (51D) Disorderly Patient in E.D. Security Officers Miguel Pagan, Corey Rithchie, Omar Alonso, and Supervisor Steven Evans arrived at 0136 hours and met with Patient Care Tech Cathy Negron who was standing just outside of the patient's room.

On October 27, 2016, we met to obtain clarification on your work destinations and work performed on the day prior.
The quiz was fairly easy. I read though the documents a couple of times and I managed to get a 19/20. We did get a couple of extra days to study due to snow days and delays. This was in terms of support was somewhat slow. Most of the problems were just as simple as a force shutdown. Also, I helped Mrs. Chase startup the desktops for the PLTW rooms as well as getting the serial numbers off each laptop in the vault.
In last week's journal entry I stated that this week PVEPD would be conducting active shooter training, but the training is postponed for now. During this week’s shifts, I finished the putting together the emergency operation plan binders, cleaned the briefing room, and went to the department’s shooting range where I had the opportunity to shoot AR-15 and a Glock 22. I spent both Monday and Tuesday’s shift at the shooting in the basement of the police department. The shooting range which is located underneath the department and can be accessed through the parking garage. There are two rooms in the basement one room is storage for the gun range and the other room is the actually shooting range. Each room requires a special type of key and passcode
I spend most of the day setting up Ethostream’s EGS. I did some re-wiring in your office and the 4th floor. Bill helped set the box up and we finished by 1pm. I spent 2-3 hours clean up old wires, hubs, and routers and putting them on my desk. I also been monitoring guest Wi-Fi to make sure it was still active.
I work as a writing tutor at Quinsigamond Community College, we are not allowed to proofread the student's papers, which in turn anger some students who were expecting that service. Whenever problems like those arise I always calmly explain to the student what our policy is and then ask them if they would like to read through and go over their
I grew up in a small town in western Pennsylvania. The town is very small, and everyone knows one another. I cam from a two parent home. My mom worked for the the unemployment office in our area. She was an interviewer for unemployment. Her duties included interviewing persons with claims to see if they were eligible for unemployment benefits. She worked for 35 years until it was time for her to retire. My mother took her time with me as a child. She made sure that I was in church every Sunday as well as throughout the week. I was involved in a lot of ministries including vacation bible to the choir. My faith is very strong, and I do believe that all things are possible through God. My mother raised me in church, and
When students encounter challenging tasks or experience failure, they make different attributions about the causes. They may focus on their intelligence or level of effort. How our beliefs about intelligence impact our goals and performance is the focus of Carol Dweck’s work (Blackwell, Trzesniewski, & Dweck, 2007; Dweck, 1986; Dweck, 1999; Hong, Chui, Dweck, Lin, & Wan, 1999). Dweck’s implicit theories of intelligence involves two mindsets: the fixed view and the malleable view. People who have a fixed mindset often believe that their own intelligence is fixed entity that cannot be changed; and those who have a malleable mindset believe that their intelligence can be changed and increased (Dweck, 1999). These two mindsets have profound influences on students’ responses to challenging situations, potentially leading to the extremes of withdrawal of effort and learned helplessness (fixed mindset) or persistent effort and a mastery orientation (malleable mindset). Fortunately, mindsets can be altered and used as interventions to
•After I completed all of these self assessments quiz, I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I am more of relate to art more than science. Even though I said that I want to me a Dentist for my future, but it was just a plan. Future can be change. Something that surprised me was the knowledge quiz because the occupations that listed were mostly related to my interests.
Supplemental. Mrs. Hungness indicated that she had accomplished a couple of the action steps we had identified for accomplishing her set goals. She reported that starting her new medication and taking it regularly for the last week has really made her feel better. She reported she feels her anxiety and depression have been more controllable this week. She stated she has been utilizing her planner more efficiently and did not take on any new tasks she cannot complete. She sent a second email to disability services as she feels this goal is important for her future academic success. Before our meeting this morning, Mrs. Hungness went out to breakfast with her fiancé and her roommate.
