My academic goals include obtaining my bachelor’s degree in liberal arts. The motivational factors for this goal are the intrinsic value of setting a standard for my son to value education not only as a way to pursue a career but also as an ever going process in personal development.

This assignment has taught me multiple study techniques that I believe will be effective for learning in general One technique that I found most effective is creating an emotional attachment to information. If I can somehow apply any given information to an emotional understanding I tend to be far more likely to remember the information and gives me the ability to apply information on a different level. I can create memories by utilizing my photographic memory. By seeing something visually it automatically triggers some type of emotional connection. This has been helpful in understanding that is triggers my visual memory.
I also intend on making visual flashcards I have a photographic memory so it is easy for me to remember information when I have something visual to attach to meaning. For me I process information far more efficiently in a visual manner. Labeling things with words are not as effective as pictures for my learning style. Now when I combine my photographic memory with my ability to be a verbal learner such as visual flashcards with the definition of the word on the back it becomes a powerful learning tool for
