Personal Narrative: My Way Of Learning

Improved Essays
Over the years I learned everyone learns differently. Theirs not only one way of learning. Some people learn faster than others. Learning is an amazing thing , and people should understand the different styles of learning. When I was younger I never had to wash my own clothes , because my mom always did all the cleaning for me. I always thought she would be doing this for the rest of my life there’s no need for me to learn how to wash clothes. The day I turned fifthten is when my mom told me and showed me I had a responsibility that I should now know and take on from her. It was time for me to learn how to wash my own clothes. At first I was really scared and worried that I would mess up. I thought the soap will overflow out of the washing …show more content…
My mom showed me how much detergent I needed to put in the cap of the detergent if the load of clothes was big or small. I caught on to the instructions and seeing her do it faster than I thought. After seeing my mom demonstrate , it was my time to actual complete the task of washing my own clothes. I never thought that I would be able to wash my own clothes and it to be so easy because it looked very hard. When I did it on my own it was successful and I felt proud of myself. I learned seeing things get done first visual was very helpful for me and hands on
Staying organized used to be the hardest things for me to do, I would have everything out of place and everywhere. I would hold on to things that no longer needed to be held on to that was just taking up space. Trying to be organized was getting out of control and I needed help. I decided to google ways to become organized and it didn’t get me far. I would read articles that google provided but realized it was no help. I came up with another idea and decided to go talk to my advisor at school about my organization issue. I reached out to my advisor because I seen how organized she was and I wanted to be

She showed me her list of realistic things in order that she wanted to get done and told me to also do the same. My advisor told me to only make six bullet points because I don’t want to over whelmed myself see a big list and not get the things I need to get done finished. She told me to put a time frame on completion on the tasks , which is two to three days , and as I cross off the list add another idea added to my list. The list would get shorter and before I know It my list would be completed, and be able to start a new list. I thought I couldn’t do it so I put a hold on it and me trying to be organized started to get worse. I decided to finally try and I wrote down my six ideas. Sooner than later my first idea was crossed off the list. It felt really good and I felt like I was really accomplishing my list, I never thought wiring stuff down could help with being organized but it does. I learned seeing things visual is always better than keeping thoughts bottled up in your head.. Another learning experience I have gone through is saving money. Saving wasn’t as important to me as it is now , I used to always struggle with having money. One day I started looking at the bigger picture about saving money. I started thinking , I was telling

    Of course it wouldn 't be that difficult since my sister was still home and she knew how to cook a lot more than I did. But as cleaning and doing laundry I knew I would have to take care of this myself because my sister had never even touched the washer before. Right before my mom left she said “ Remember in the future you will…

    Shocker, isn’t it? I had fun with that assignment, which helped me stay engaged with the writing and I learned more. I didn’t know how to cite sources properly before that. I didn’t know how to write a personal interview in a paper. When it came to my papers I tried my best to have fun with them; I become distracted easily and if I don’t have something I enjoy for a topic I put it off for longer than is beneficial for me.…

    It is a struggle and the outcome is not making me the happiest person on earth, but in my mind it seems it will be more beneficial. I learned that I must manage time in a way in which I can learn in depth, so this meant less time focussing on work or getting ready and instead focussing on studying. The key to my success is for me to “set myself down to my task with a will, and [start discovering] one new thing after another” (Scudder 454) instead of being pleased with just learning the basics. I sometimes even deprive my other classes of attention while trying to focus on a more important class, but one thing I learned in college is that sometimes a person must sacrifice. I am currently sacrificing my grade point average, I know everything won’t be a perfect score, because when I start to focus extra time on one subject some other classes might get left behind.…

    Leaving off and not having anyone there in touchable reach was another fieldstone that didn’t help the thoughts. Not having as much as my peers in the high school years made me strive for better and now I have all that I could ask for and more. The statement can be said that meeting this new guy makes up for the time that I missed and was all alone. Gives me a chance to start another good thing and bounce off of the goodness he has as well. My eye opening experience assisted me in gaining the new person that was inside of me all along.…

    All I usually changed were the structural errors instead of the grammar errors. In taking this class thus far I have learned that this type of editing will not have me pass at my preferred grade. The evidence of this lies in all both the narrative and observational essay. From “Jeez Grandma!” to “This is Gaming?” my editing in my correctness criterion had improved but only by a small margin. Evidently showing me from the start that I needed to improve and that I can’t be sloppy with my work, or that’ll cost me severely by the end of the semester.…

    This course made me realized that you can’t just procrastinate because it reflects when you do on your work. The essays I had got higher grades on I took my time to look over and proof read. When I rushed through my essays I would make senseless mistakes like not give my essay a title or my ideas in my paper would seem confusing even to myself. An example of my procrastination showing in my paper would be my New Criticism paper as mentioned before I forgot to put a title because I didn’t look over it after I rushed to write it. I also noticed I did poorly on my quizzes when I didn’t take the time to make sure I went through all the questions.…

    I had good information and questions, we just didn’t get to cover everything because the focus wasn’t there like it was the other two days. I think the discussions went a lot better than I expected them to. I figured when we had different opinions one side would try and prove why they were right, but that never happened. I figured they’d be a lot more serious than they were, but they were really laid back and fun. I really liked how others opinions differed than mine because I got another perspective of…

    She wasn’t allowed to do much and was raised to be way more responsible than I was. She basically took care of me since I was a baby and she still takes care of me. We joke around a lot about how she was pretty much born an adult. When I was younger, I had no idea how big an impact had had on me. I did better in school because she did good in school.…

    I quickly realized that this was not executed well, so it was taking so much more time than I had anticipated. Because of this, I decided to only ask six questions instead of all ten that I had planned. If I were to reteach this lesson, I would still keep all ten questions, but I would make sure that my students understood the length of each measures (centimeters, meters, and kilometers). By doing this, I believe that my students would be able to answer the questions correctly and with confidence. Another aspect of my lesson that I changed was during the direct instruction.…

    To do an altruistic deed used to come easily for me or so I thought. It wasn't until I had to do this paper that I realized maybe it is a lot harder than I had imagined. I don't know if it is because I am not as altruistic as I truly believed I was or if it was because I actually have to sit down and put on to paper what I have done, so I started by looking up the definition of altruism. To be altruistic is to selflessly help others. These past few weeks I have only really helped my family, friends and significant other.…
