I worked on this project mostly by myself. I enjoyed working on this project by myself because I like working on research projects especially a topic that interests me a lot. The most difficult part I think about writing this paper was how to start my paper and how to incorporate the movie Slumdog Millionaire in it. I have trouble a lot getting myself started so I asked for some help from Professor Mangini which helped a lot. I started writing this project after we watched the movie and got some more research on sex trafficking in the United States. I think this was a good approach because I took some time to research and that helped me a lot when writing. I wrote most of the paper at school which next time I don’t think I should do that. I can get distracted very easily and I think I work better when I’m by myself in my room where it’s quiet and relaxing. I chose the topic sex trafficking. I wrote about this because this has always interested me. Sex trafficking is a very genuine issue going on in the United States and not many people realize its going on every day all around in their neighborhoods. When I did some research its shocked me how many women, men and children are affected by this every day. All these interesting facts made me want to learn more and write about how I think we can change this genuine issue. Next time I work on this project I think I need to look up more facts and back up them more and work on it in a quieter environment so I can focus.

Purpose No matter where you come from or your background you can overcome anything if you try hard enough. Audience Your audience is going to be your professor and your classmates. A secondary audience could be students from other classes, family and friends and other outside peers who visit your blog. Focus The focus of this assignment should be explaining Jamal’s background and where he comes from and how he got to where he is now and how no matter where you come from or who you grow up around doesn’t mean you can’t be successful and smart.

Who did I work with to compose my academic mindset project? Was this a good approach?
I didn’t really work with anyone on this project. I used to articles given to us and read them a couple times to get a more sense on the academic mindsets. What was the most difficult part of my writing process? Why? What did I do to overcome the obstacles? The most difficult part about writing this project was trying to figure out what academic mindset I had or if I had a combination of 2 or more. Also, was trying to get away from distractions and finding the time to sit down and write it. When did I write this project? Good approach? I started writing the on-Monday night and wrote a little bit. I continued the next day but didn’t write much because I was stuck so I stopped. I got a little more sense on what I was supposed to be writing about in class on Thursday so I continued it after class on Thursday. I don’t think this was the best approach so the next project I will give myself more time. Where did I write this project? Good approach? I always do assignments in my room or living room. I wrote in both those places. I like writing in my room more where I can lock my door turn off all noises and not get any distractions from anything. It was a good approach because I seem to get more done when no one is around and I am comfortable where I am. Why did I choose to write about my chosen topic? We were assigned this project. I wrote about how I think I have a fixed and growth mindset in different ways. I wrote about that because I think I do better in different classes for different reasons. How will I adapt/revise my writing process for future revision of the academic mindset assignment? [Be specific. Review your current six-step writing process plan and consider posting a new six-step plan.] I think next time I need to give myself more time on writing the paper. Also, I think I will ask more questions if I’m lost or ask other outside peers to read my draft and get so feedback. As I started writing my assignment I talked to my sister about it because she is older than me and she remembers more about the past than I do. She helped a lot and helped me remember more. The most difficult part about my writing process was how to get started on the approach I was trying to take. I was very young when my parents got divorced so I had to try and bring back those memories in my head to make my story come alive. I started writing my project the week it was assigned and then continued to write little by little every day. I’m not sure if that was the best approach for me personally because when I went back to write more I lost the momentum when I first started writing it and I had to get that back. I wrote some of my project in the library and the rest at home in my room. I like to be comfortable and in a warm place when I am writing or doing assignments. When I’m not comfortable I get, distracted and stop what I’m doing. I think writing in my room in a comfortable place is what I like to do. I don’t have any distractions and I can just sit down and write. I chose to write about Sunday dinner at my grandparents’ house with my whole family because that’s where I felt at home when I was a child. It was a tradition that everyone came over and we enjoyed each other’s company and I looked forward to it every week. What I would like to do better for future revision of my hiraeth assignment is talk to my parents more about those days and get further input. Also, getting other people’s input on my writing other than my immediate family which can help a lot.
