Reflect on a lesson you had to learn or a skill you were attempting to master either in or out of a classroom setting that may not have come easily to you. Identify what made the knowledge or skill you were seeking to acquire so important to you that you continued learning despite any adversities you encountered. Describe what made learning that knowledge or mastering that skill so difficult for you. Explain how learning in that setting helped you to develop a growth mindset and provide examples of some of the techniques or strategies that you developed to help you learn.
