Forge Intensifying My Patterns

Sequence: When I use sequential pattern on a use first basis I feel most comfortable, knowing that if I follow everything step-by-step makes completing assignments from beginning to end without interruption go smoother. Using sequential pattern in my household makes things easier,

You will probably notice that I repeat myself a few times. That’s because I want to be sure you remember those particular tips.

Having a learner’s heart means being open to improving on the skills one already has or being humble enough to acknowledge that they do not know everything. The is a heavy burden in believe that you have come your final opinion or knowledge on anything. The course text book has brought up the need for being a lifelong learner a few times and I believe it is a skill that all people should refine and take up. The encouragement to being a lifelong learned supplement by the tools provided by the course text have been beneficial to be understanding and practice. Some of the tools the course text lists include making time to learn, meeting new people, and going online. Since reading this book, I have tried to implement at least these three things. Making time to learn have been one of the biggest ones. I have also allowed myself to ask questions. Being in college accompanied with being a first-generation college student, I have felt the need to just know things. My family’s assumption about my education has impacted me; several of them assume that college has taught me everything and I am afraid to seem like I do not know things. The education they help me pay for needs to be shown to them through my knowledge. There is a freedom in being able to say “I don’t know, but I’ll try and find out”. I know my family is excited about my education and does not understand exactly what my education and knowledge entails. Being a learner means I do not have to know everything and I can continue to learn from all circumstances and anyone who is willing to teach

I have always loved to learn. Expanding my knowledge brings me so much joy and it is a way

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you will learn, the places you’ll go.” (Dr. Suess) The unique and most grateful thing in live is learning.

After seeing the video of professor Chew’s talk on “How to get the most out of studying, part 1” I realize the mistakes I’m doing when I’m studying. I been doing the same mistake since high school and now I know why I was struggling so much in some classes. Because I was multitasking most of the time when I was studying and being over confidents about knowing the topic I wasted a lot of time learning.

Learning something in our life take time and effort, and that’s hard for some of us, but that makes me happy and proud of myself when I get any new information;

Using her confluent pattern intentionally would be helpful. Instead of being stuck and not moving forward , be confluent, rely on intuition and learn from mistakes.

My advice to Raheem is to hold up, consider your other patterns and use them intentionally. Using precision and sequence would help you to understand that's it's not all about you. Team work is essential. Learn to become an intentional learner. Use all patterns instead of the ones that suits you, for they all interact .

your paradigms and the paradigms of them. This way you will more likely have a stronger influence. My second recommendation to myself is to stay focused on what matters the most to me. This recommendation came in to my mind after reading the second habit: Begin With the End in Mind. This habit taught me how to live with a purpose. It is based on the principle that things need to be created mentally before they are physically created. For example, a plane is first created in someone’s mind before it is actually built. Effective people determine their own futures. First, they mentally plan it according to their values and principles. Second, they physically create it through their positive actions and behaviors. During my college life, I have always had busy weeks in which I had to deal with lots of exams, home woks, quizzes, and projects. In such weeks, I tend to spend all my time only doing my school responsibilities. However, as Stephen Covey says in the second habit, “most people on their death beds don’t wish they had spent more time at the office!” By the end of each semester, I see myself getting good grades but still not satisfied because deep in my

Precision(30)Use first This also did not surprise me, because I tend to ask lots of questions and I like to have thoro explanations of what is going on. I tend to make lists and cross them off as they are done. This sometimes does not work well work well for me as some may assume that

However, I realized that in order to succeed I had to learn to “become a student”. This meant that I needed to

Sequence: I am on the lower end of the use as needed spectrum for using the sequence pattern. I tend to stray from using sequence unless I have to. I use my critical thinking skills to evaluate a task, and what is being asked of me before deciding the best way to complete it. I do tend to have issues sticking to directions and the task at hand. I know that I need to intensify my sequence use and try to create more order when completing assignments. In the Week 2 assignment I received feedback about the repetitive sentences I used to start my paragraphs, I know that if I would’ve practiced using sequence and did a rough draft or outline for each topic, I would’ve have noticed this issue before submitting the assignment.

I envision this area of refinement will affect my work in a very positive way. This observation gives me a clear and precise outline of the areas I am strong in, I need to refine, and the areas I need to obtain more understanding of. As I go forward as an instructor I will make sure I implement my strengths in all of my lesson. I will always keep working to make my areas of strength even stronger. When it comes to the areas that need refinement, I will seek out different resources which will make these areas stronger. Most importantly, the areas I need to obtain more understanding will be the areas I focus on the most. I will take each area and learn as much as I can in that certain area. Once I feel I have a strong understanding of it I will move on to another area. The reason I am separating these areas is due to the fact I believe I will learn and be able to retain more on the subject if I solely focused on it.

Naturally, my eagerness to learn came about at a very young age. I always wanted to know how the human body worked. Growing up in the age of YouTube, I often poured over countless hours of videos learning simple concepts that I could easily understand at that time. As I grew I was always looking to learn something new. Finally, in high school I took advantage of College Now, a program where students in high school had access to college classes on a college campus while receiving college credits. While I was there, I earned a Certificate in Computer Science from CUNY Queens College. This eagerness to learn came about of a very simple reason. My parents had high aspirations for me since no one on either side of their families had ever gone beyond a high school education. They wanted me to be the first in the family to achieve a Bachelor’s degree. Finally in 2012, I graduated from St. Johns University with a
