Take a few minutes to think of a time when you overcame a struggle to learn something. It could be anything - from adding negative numbers to learning a technique in baseball to
writing an introduction for a difficult essay.
Reflect on the times when you failed at first but through perservering your brain created new neural connections and you eventually became better at the task at hand.
Write a letter to a future student of your class about this struggle. In at least five sentences, tell this student your story and give them advice on what they should do next time they encounter an obstacle when learning something new. An example is below. Feel free to be as creative as you would like.
