Student Teacher

I'm not. I can.

“I’m trying my hardest, but there’s not much hope for me; I’m just not naturally smart with these things.”

I'm not. I can't.

“This class is completely unfair. I’m not a science-whiz who can just pick up ideas like it's nothing."
Fixed - External

“I’m not quite there yet, but with more work and some help from the teacher, I can get better!”
Growth - INternal

I am. I can’t.

“I’ve been working my butt off, but it feels like the teacher is out to get me on these assignments.”
