Through the years I’ve had to learn to adopt different learning styles. Starting school in the late sixties, there was little emphasis on why students learned differently. Students were to memorize and understand what was put before them. I recognize now the difficulty I faced possessing traits of an “auditory”, “visual”, and “kinesthetic” learner trying to conform to the rigid structure of comprehension and memorization the material put before me. In my early school days I was considered too much of a distraction, and insistently corrected to force my compliance, keeping my hands in my pockets or behind my back. The frustration of myself and my educators from bending an individual to fit the curriculum had a lasting effect influencing my …show more content…
Written expression of my needs and ideas still comes with some difficulty. It has taken six years of writing and spell check including countless hours of my husband’s help to learn grammar and spelling I should have memorized years ago. Thank goodness for spellcheck! My ability to remodel a house, run a business, write a proposal, and tackle most media never ceases to amaze me. However, questioning my recall on the spot can still be problematic. I close my eyes to give directions. Sometimes, I will recite the alphabet to recall a person’s name. A face, though, I rarely forget. Even from the back, I recognize someone from their walk or hair. The struggle with memory led me to choosing classes carefully until a philosophy class. As the professor handed us the test my mind drew a blank, even in spite of the thirty hours of studying. After handing the test back it occurred to me the questions I answered incorrectly were obvious and easy. Per the “kinesthetic” learner, one person labeled me a “spreader” because I must have piles of work and personal belongings in sight for efficiency. I also prefer to touch everything. A trait my mother wasn’t fond of and why, till this day, I still find myself with hands behind my back or in my pockets, repeating her corrective behavior, especially in
Sexuality is a major ordeal in today's reality. With online networking and the advancement of individuals nearing around and acting naturally. When I say acting naturally I imply that you are alright with individuals tolerating you for whom you are. You're not stressed over the kickback you may get from being distinctive. It is alright to act naturally and not need to stress over what individuals think like numerous years back. The changing of genders of Bruce Jenner has everybody feeling great with whom they are. We are all not the same everybody. Furthermore, individuals are additionally ready to not pass judgment on you. Everybody has somebody in his or her family that is distinctive so individuals are more satisfactory to things in 2015
From the moment I was able to tie my shoes and button my jacket, I knew I wanted to be a doctor. While all my classmates at the La Petite Academy made macaroni trees and smiley faces, I drew myself with a stethoscope curing a poor man with the cold. Every year in elementary school, we had career day. Never straying from my love to helping others I wanted to be a surgeon one year, to a dentist the next, and even an obstetrician, I changed my mind quickly once I found out what they did. Looking back on my childhood, I always had a connection with animals and always loved being around them. Early mornings I would open our nearly frozen-shut windows listening to the birds calling. Beside from the squawking of the crows, I heard a soft, pleasant yet curious bird call. It stuck out to me
By the time I reached Kindergarten and started my middle childhood years I already possessed several gross and fine motor skills. A few of these gross motor skills which I possessed were the ability to catch a ball, climb a flight of stairs without help, and the ability to stand on one foot for a given amount of time. A few of my fine motor skills were the ability to draw shapes, cut on a straight line, and to color within the designated lines. Upon entering Kindergarten I had an accident where I cut off the tip of my right index finger. I had to keep my finger bandaged for the first nine weeks of Kindergarten therefore it delayed a few of my fine motor skills. By the end of Kindergarten and the beginning of my 1st grade year I learned fine
This is my first online class. I will be graduating next fall with my associates in Human Services. I have enjoyed all of my classes over the last couple of years, except Math. I am not a great Math student.
All my life, my main goal was (and still is) to move out of Wisconsin, say goodbye to the negative fifty degree winters, and explore the world. Looking for a career that incorporates my love for traveling and my intrest of Business has always sounded like a dream.Going to new, exotic places has always been a significant part in my life. After all, my first trip was when I was eight months old to Turks and Caicos. Throughout time, our family traveled to most of the Caribbean, I was infatuated with everything about these countries. At the age of ten, I started taking online Spanish courses.In the past year, I started to learn my third language, Italian. Learning a language takes a strong memory, from memorizing the spelling to all the forms the word has to be in.
As well as there is the other sentence in this article said, “They undoubtedly saw rainbow patterns in the misty spray, but were convinced they had discovered a fairy grotto.” I would like to visit South Island and Milford Sound again as last time I did not see a rainbow. I would imagine that I rotate my neck to see the rainbow, it would be as a heaven, discovered a fairy grotto. Event though, “Jessie explains that Milford Sound is actually a fiord, carved out by a glacier and then flooded by the sea, whereas a sound is a flooded river valley.” For my opinion, it seems that Milford Sound is just a fiord rather than a sound. However, it is still the most experienced traveller, which means you won’t regret to travel under the one of the most
Failure, It is not an easy thing for people to accept. Everyone wants to be good at everything they do. Whether it is riding a bike, playing video games, playing a sport such as baseball or football or anything for that matter. In my personal experience I have of course been unsuccessful at things in life but, life goes on and I have learned from my mistakes. From the time I was about five years old all the way until I was fourteen, I loved to play baseball. I played other sports too but baseball was the one sport I really enjoyed. As time went on, baseball became harder, things got more competitive and one year I decided I was not going to play anymore.

his past weekend, was all together, a terrible wind storm, if you ask me. There were branches collapsing off trees, covering the road. Trees ripping out of the ground, and making a great disturbance, making power lines fall and break; as an aftereffect, Gray had no power. The outage time differed for each person in the town. Therefore, some people STILL have no power to this day. I have my power back, just because CMP came to fix it in my range. For the remaining people, they are in the process.
Why did I have to accept the offer? I asked myself this while I was standing outside of Berkmar High School during a winter day at 7:00 AM with a book bag. It was Saturday and I felt like my toes just became icicles and a thousand daggers were stabbing my whole body.
The summer of 2016 my brother was 18 months old, and he got sick. First he had a bad cold that stayed for three weeks, and his cough started to get worse, and he started to sound like a dog, and he couldn't keep anything down, and every time he tried to talk or say something he would cough. He had no appetite. He had a 103 temp.
When I was seven years old my mom use to paint people's houses, fences and everything you name it. I used to go with my mom whenever she had to go to someones house and paint my mom did this for extra money in the pocket. One time when I went with my mom to this guy’s house to paint his fence in the area. While my mom was painting I would hang out in the house with the guy and his wife. When my mom was done, I went into the car, then I had saw the guys dog. I asked the guy if I could pet the dog while they were talking and the guy said I could. I then stepped on the dogs foot when I was petting it. Next thing I know I have the dog’s teeth in my cheek and feel my mom pull me away and see the guy pull his dog away. I was bleeding all the way
It was Thursday, April 23, 2015 and I was skipping school today. It was bringing your child to work day! I was going to my mother’s work, but I still woke up like usual because she worked at an elementary school. When I woke up I was so excited. It was my first time going to bring your child to work day. After that I eat breakfast, brushed my teeth, dressed up and pop into my mother’s car. As I was in the car sitting in the back, I started talking and said, “I am so excited for today and nervous.”
When I was very young, I was an overly confident child. I thought I was going to save the world one day, and people would follow in my footsteps. As all children, I wanted to be a superhero, and I put my plan into action starting in first grade when I would try to stop the “fights” or keep the bigger kids from picking on the littler ones. I became teacher’s pet because I was so confident in myself that I didn’t feel the need to win over the other kids, I wanted to win over the adults. I would ask lots of questions, speak out of turn, try to speak intelligently; the whole package. This went on until sixth grade as I daringly defied everyone’s view of normal. In all honestly, I was just plain out arrogant.
It was the beginning of summer in 2013 and I had just finished my sentence shacked up in High school. My parents planned a trip to go see my grandparents in Panama City and said that I could bring a friend with me. We packed our bags and drove 14 hours to Florida. Once there we were unaware that we were about to be faced with tough situation and that teamwork was the only way for survival.
