Entry 8

1. I got a 30% on my math quiz last week.

2. IC: You got such a low score because you don't understand math concepts.
IG: I got a really low score, but now I know I need to study harder.

IC: You failed because you procrastinated on the homework.
IG: Next time I will start my homework earlier in the week and take more time on it.

3. ID: You failed because you can't understand the math teacher's accent.
IG: The teacher's accent is strong, so I'm going to take time and try to teach myself math.

ID: You failed because the class only meets once a week.
IG: Since this class only meets once a week, I'm going to make a set schedule where I work on math myself every week.

ID: You failed because math is too hard.
IG: Even though math is hard, I need this credit to get my Bachelor's. So I'm going to get help in order to learn and pass.

4. I've learned changing my inner conversation can help me identify certain problems in my life and figure out what I can do that turns a negative situation into a positive one.
