This is from the advisory class. We have advisory classes since fourth grade. My dad got really excited about our last week learning- Growth mindset vs Fixed mindset. Growth mindset is about people who don' give up. Fixed mindset is about people who give up. The difference can be understood from this easy example. Person 1 with fixed mindset - "I can't do this". Person 2 with growth mindset- "I cant't do this yet " . With this one extra word yet it could make all the difference !! Thomas Edison never gave up trying to make the light bulb glow.

Stephen Curry wins the three point contest. LeBron is not a great three point shooter.  LeBron wins the dunk contest because Curry is too small to do dunks. So LeBron wins the dunk contest. Curry does better layups than LeBron. Curry does layups more often than LeBron and Curry does more epic layups than LeBron. Curry wins the layup contest. LeBron has 4 MVP awards and Curry only has 2 MVP awards. So LeBron wins the MVP contest. LeBron can do better blocks than Curry and in games he can “reject” people doing dunks. So LeBron wins the blocking contest.  LeBron has 9.1 in assists and Curry has 6.1 in assists. So LeBron wins the assists contest. LeBron has 1.4 in steals and Curry has 1.6 in steals.So Curry wins the steal contest.  Curry gets more rebounds in games, but it does not do that much of an impact. So LeBron wins the rebound contest and so LeBron is better than Stephen Curry. The websites I visited are Landofbasketball.com and NBAstats.com

I spent my first four years in New Delhi and then the past six years in California. I go to Merryhill school and I have made many good friends. My favorite subject is history. For winter I plan to go Washington DC for vacation.
