Growth and Fixed Mindsets

I believe that I tend to have a growth mindset in everything.  Although I tend to get A's on my report card, I always think that I can improve in some way and I try to put as much effort into my work as possible.  For example, in the past I always got an A in band because I would turn in all of my practice charts and do fairly well on playing tests.  But I would always go home and practice to try and understand more rhythms or try to find some more advanced music to enhance my playing abilities.  With any subject, I practice a lot, especially if I don't succeed at first.   I have a growth mindset because I think that  I can always improve my skills with hard work.
