For example, I knew how to create a goal but not a detailed one were its something I’m actually going to try. Like, on binder checks those goals we set I tried to achieve them so overall those helped to improve my binder check grades or even my Cornell Notes. One of the examples I saw on the WICOR board was mental preparedness and I was surprised because I actually do that. Reading-Reading has helped me become a better student because now I am not only able to read books on my reading level but above it as well. The more I read this year the more I grew with knowledge and understanding.…
I acquired knowledge and skills when I earned a spot on the swim team at Sarah E Goode STEM Academy. I have been waiting since my freshman year for my school to have a swim team. Then they finally got one my senior year. Even though I am not the best at sports, including swimming, I had to be on this team. I tried out and I barely made the team.…
Because I have several challenges to face, I will seek advice from several experts on learning. One expert is Steven Covey. He advices student to spend time on learning important basic skills like a rear species bamboo plant take a very long time to grow its root under grow in order to support a big tall bamboo tree. I would fail to be successful in college if I do not have enough foundation for future harder education. Sharon Bowman is another expert with good advices.…
The strongest person in the world might be able to tackle any physical obstacle, but mental stress can be much more difficult. The nuance with mental stress is that different environments affect people in different ways, and in different magnitudes. Cathy Davidson’s “Project Classroom Makeover”, Susan Faludi’s “The Naked Citadel”, and Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Power of Context”, all describe scenarios with environments that are either stressful and negative, or relaxed and positive. An individual’s identity is minimally impacted in positive environments and drastically affected in negative environments.…
Reflecting on my results from the VARK and MBTI inventories, I am not particularly surprised by what I see. The VARK inventory came back with a result of multimodal: 11 in visual, 13 in aural, 13 in read/write, and 14 in kinesthetic; whereas the MBTI inventory resulted in being an INTP: introvert, intuitive, perceiving, and right in the middle of thinking and feeling. I have no problems being a visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic learner, or all at once, if available. Although I prefer to learn hands on and by teaching others what I already know, I can adapt to any learning or teaching style. While this does pose it’s advantages, I have always found it hard to apply myself with learning things that I am not wholeheartedly interested…
magine coming home and seeing a family member on the floor that’s not breathing and their unresponsive. The first reaction is to call 911 and then perform CPR but if there is no knowledge on how to perform CPR then the person could die. CPR can save a person's life if they quit breathing and if they're heart quits beating. CPR means Cardiopulmonary Recitation. The word cardio means heart, pulmonary means lung, and recitate means bring back to life.…
The why that I think I learn best is just casually doing work. Not all nighter studying or get it done quick. I like to take my time and do it. These learning styles do represent me because I don’t care if I work alone or not. When I work I do like to snack and with some music, that's how I usually do it.…
Multiple studies have shown that all students lose at least some percentage of the knowledge they have gained in school over the summer break, and some students lose a more significant amount than others. However, there are ways to prevent the loss of learning, and as I am entering the final years of my high school education it is vital that I retain important information that I will need in my future. In order to keep myself from losing information, I can do many things over the summer that are both enjoyable and effective in allowing me to continue and enhance my learning experiences. Some things I plan to do over my summer that may help my learning include reading, taking weeklong camps, and travelling to new areas. I usually read periodically throughout the summer, and plan to continue to do so.…
Overall, taking charge of your learning is the best thing to do; you challenge yourself to learn new…

How to Preform Hands-Only CPR Imagine one day while you are teaching a class; a student passes out and they are unconscious. The class begins to panic. You dial the appropriate emergency response team, but you are unaware of what to do until help arrives. In that moment, it would be helpful if you had the ability to try and resuscitate your student. CPR should be a necessity because you never know when you might have to save a life.…
What if I told you 20 hours is all it takes to learn something new. Not a lot of time, wouldn’t you agree? Josh Kaufman states in his Ted talk called The first 20 hours that with “45 minutes a day for about a month” one can go from being completely incompetent to the point where once you complete your 20 hours of practicing you will be amazed with the results (9:13). Josh Kaufman believes that with his 4 steps one can learn anything. He formulated this method with intensive research.…
And when I could not find what I was looking for online, I could always find it in books. My parents had one rule: if I was going to read it, I could buy it. As a result, I taught myself to knit, crochet, buy and sell stocks, play the guitar, solve the rubix cube, play chess, and a variety of other random and obscure skills. On a more serious note, I was able to apply the same skills to learning trigonometry, constitutional law, and international politics. Another way I learned in high school was by preparing speeches and presentations.…
Each school year I was able to apply previous education knowledge to the next lesson at hand. My mother always taught me to listen in life because it will take you far. I have instilled that little insight in my children as well. When you listen, you take in more valuable information, and you are able to understand the way things work and sometimes it’s better to listen than to…
On reflection, my own personal experience of profiling and my ESFJ profile seem remarkably accurate and directly reflected my personal development plan. The professional development plan also considers learning style. According to the test from VARK, I am a highly Aural Learne who ‘learns by listening’. I surprised and agree with the outcome which suggested me to use different methods to improve my learning style. Strategies to have much more balanced in a study like discussing, talking, questioning and recalling for Aural Learner.…
