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: If I were facing a challenge and was hesitant that it might be a struggle to meet, I would seek advice from trusted individuals in my life, think through solutions and obstacles that might cause me hiccups and visualize my feelings if I were to complete it. Seeking advice from others can help keep me accountable, solidify my goal and allow for them to provide feedback or experience to help with my attempt. Thinking through the whole problem and identifying what are some things that might be issues helps me prepare a path that I am more likely to have smaller progress to show. Seeing myself complete the goal helps me prepare for a difficult journey with a successful end being worth the hardship. Recognizing a difficult goal comes with difficult components helps mentally prepare for the effort that will go towards it, recognizing I can do some actions to help meet the goal builds my self-efficacy that it can be accomplished. |
