Persuasive Essay About Long Summer Vacations - 729 Words

It’s summer vacation and students are excited to have a long break with their friends. However,this is the time of the year where they forget everything they learned all school year because they sleep and wake up late and in between they do not keep their brains active. Instead of reading a book three times a week or practicing math, some work with their parents or on their own, while others stay home being lazy.

Some believe they were engen dered smart and if they make a mistake they are considered unintelligent, â€Å"A belief in fixed intelligence also make people less willing to admit to their errors or to confront and remedy their deficiencies in school, work and social relationships† (24).

If the student believes he/she is smart, they only focus on getting good grades, but when they encounter a challenge they back away because they do not know how to confront it. Since they have never been exposed to difficulty, students become vulnerable and are afraid they will fail, so they do not give it a chance nor do they put in effort. Moreover, it’s crucial that we help them correct this mindset so they learn how to accept challenges and correct their mistakes. This would prevent them from presenting fallacious work at their job, school, or in their social lives.*Moreover, â€Å"Over emphasis in intellects/ talents lead to failure† (21).
