Two students, seniors Lily Nelles and Sophie Saia, are staged to compare themselves on intelligence levels based on the amount of books they read and on the amount of homework they have. Nelles said, “Personally, I think it’s a good thing to compare yourself to other high-achieving individuals because then you want to be like them; it’s good when it’s a growth mindset. But when it’s a fixed mindset, like ‘I’m never going to be as good as her or as smart,’ then that’s just negative. I learned that from my psych class.”
