By owning my learning strengths and applying them, I have become a more Intentional Learner.

Additionally, Confluence was intensified to be effective by brainstorming and coming up with different approaches. Better FITing my patterns to become more of an Intentional Learner will take work. I will have to work in a way that I would usually prefer not, along with staying alert for when dominating Patterns need to be
