This is artifact is a picture of the last question (3) on our first quiz, Quiz 1. This quiz was on probability, and I had studied so hard, I walked into class feeling prepared... and then I received the test. Besides the normal second guessing I felt pretty good, until I got to the last question where I just completely blanked. I sat there and stared at that question in disbelief, I seriously couldn't think of what to do. 

Question three was a probability question, there was a basket with nine tomatoes grown with pesticides and eleven tomatoes grown organically. We had to figure out the probability of a customer picking two organic tomatoes and one tomato grown with pesticides if they were to choose at random. I knew that I had to try something, well three different somethings actually, and I ended up with three probability trees, all set up differently. However, setting up the different trees allowed me to eliminate some of my original ideas, which was helpful. After I started to draw out the first tree (far left), I could tell it was way too big to be the correct answer. I then made my second tree (top right), but something felt wrong about that one too, which led me to make the third tree (bottom right). By the time I was finished, I was so defeated, and I had no idea what the right answer/path was. 

When the quiz ended, I was very upset about how I felt I did, however looking back I am able to recognize that mistakes are a part of the learning process, and I am able to have more grace with myself. Working on my growth mindset is something I have gained through the education classes. I do think that this mistake was meaningful, I definitely learned from it. I feel like I gained a better understanding of what type of route I need to take with different probability problems and interpreting the question.
