Personal Narrative: Who I Am As A Learner

My learning style remains to be a tactile-kinesthetic learner. I’ve taken numerous learning style tests before and I always have the same results. This implies that I learn best when physically doing a project or activity. It does not mean that if I write items down I will not remember them, I will. My photographic memory is not off, but, it would stick better if I did projects hands-on. It helps to visualize the points I have read or are hearing about to get a better understanding of its background. Therefore, I enjoy creating ideas that will help learn by making displays as well as posters. I even play games to assist myself. While reading or listening to an instructor, I often shuffle my feet around or click my writing utensil. This helps

I believe you can achieve anything you want in life with hard work, dedication, and passion. There are many experiences I have gone through that have helped shaped who I am today. I may not have control over certain situations, but I have a choice on how it affects me.

Learning is something that I like to explore with someone. I personally do better when I have someone there helping/guiding me through the experience. As a learner I like to be able to ask questions, so I can make sure I am understanding the topic. I learn/think best when I am surround by people. Having other people around when I learn helps me learn from them. Also when I am with people we can brainstorm and bounce ideas off of each other when learning a new topic. I believe that students learn the best when interacting with their

I always make a list of things that need to be done and always carry a notebook with me to take notes. For my visual style way of learning, I found it is to see the task being done so I can better understand the task at hand by closing my eyes and try to see the word before I write it. Also to better understand the subject is to watch videos or movies.

In the previous years, I have made the decision to work concurrently with my education. I have been working as a waitress in a local restaurant for years. My parents were opposed to my working since they wanted me to focus on my grades, but I wanted to lessen the financial burden for them. Both of my parents never received an education and they wanted me to solely focus on school to secure myself a better future despite our poverty.

I was sitting at my desk my in the second grade class. It was a regular day just like any other day. With the regular teacher, the regular lessons, the regular student, and the regular words the students said. They would never talk about what the teacher wanted us to talk about but what second grader does? They would talk about movies they watched recently and music they were into that day. But what happened when they learned that I watched a different movie? What happened when I didn't like the music they did? What happened when I had my own ideas and didn't blindly follow whatever they thought was cool like a trained puppy? I was stupid. I was dumb. I couldn't function like a normal person. I would never be important. No one would ever like

Becoming a teacher comes with many responsibilities which include making sure that a student is comprehending the material being taught. Every student it different, therefore every student learns differently and processes information differently. After reading and knowing more about the different learning styles I have come to the conclusion that I am an auditory learner. To this day I had never thought about the way I learned things, when it was time to study for a test I would just do whatever would help me remember the information. Now after reading about the many learning styles I can relate myself with being an auditory learner. I find myself understanding something better by having a discussion about it with someone. Being able to talk about what I’ve learned helps me remember the material and I usually enjoy class discussions because it gives me the opportunity to speak up about what I do and do not understand. I tend to say things aloud, there is sense of reassuring in hearing myself say aloud what I am studying. It gives me the reassurance that I know the material and hearing things in my own words helps me

I was born in the Caribbean not until I was nine years old that I move to the USA. Growing up in the US was not easy for me, because having to learn English was so hard that at time make me regret my mom did that to e but i found a way to make it easy for me when I surrounded myself with friend that did not speak my language for me learn it faster way to learn because for me to communicate back to them i have to try my best,I felt left out being unable to understand what the teacher was saying I and the fun the kids was having was not the type of game I’m used to was hard but I learned faster that way because I motivate myself to be able to learn fast enough to be able to participate with my class in their activities.

We all have little quirks that make us unique. These quirks can be funny, serious, a combination of both, or not any of that. Therefore, when it comes to letting others know about me I can be hesitant as some people already know. All I want is to be able to be me not have to fit in with the crowd. So, if I stand out, more than likely I am not very comfortable with things going on around me. This paper is going to let you know a little more about me as well as including three personal learning goals for this class and one goal to accomplish during the next eight weeks or so.

My second most dominate learning style was being a kinesthetic learner. A kinesthetic learner needs to be active while studying. This is where lab

I am an auditory learner because to learn I have my friends (or flashcards, when alone) quiz me. I enjoy talking problems out with myself or with friends and family willing to listen. I also enjoy listening

The learning style read/write means I learn best when I am reading text from a web page, book, or illustration, while also writing down notes in the form of essays reports or an assignments. I do find learning easier when I have the material in front of me in the form of a textbook, webpage, graphs and demonstrations. While studying I will also use headings on table of context to look up subjects when researching. Now that the internet is available for studying the answers are at my fingertips. The subject can be found by a few words in the google search bar. While at work I find researching a subject is imperative. I must use different sites, text and also books to properly administer computer systems.

While I cannot think of any one single episode in my past that has led me to consider furthering my education, I do think that there have been many points in my life that have helped me reach this pivotal moment in life. I think that I should start from the very beginning. I am the 4th of 5 children; three of which have earned their BA degrees. Growing up, we were poor as both my parents only had their high school education and were raised in the segregated south. Even though there were economical and racial hardships that we had to overcome, I loved growing up in the country of Jackson County, Florida. My parents were hard workers and instilled a strict work ethic in us all. Even today, I try to adhere to my upbringing and apply this work

As I went through high school and college, I always wondered what type of learner there is, how they learn and what type of learner I am. I learned that there are four different types of learning which include visual, aural, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. Each learning style has different ways of learning the material in class, while studying and during exams. Even though there are four main types of learning, not every person is one type of learner. Most people are a combination of these learning style because that is how information sticks with them the best. In this essay I will discuss the differences in the learning styles and how they perform and remember information and go over what type of learner I am.

I like to take my time with material, but am not always given the allotted time to do so. I also like to keep a written list of things to do to refer to. I am comfortable with my learning style, accepted it as my very own. I am not sure if changing it this late in life is such a good idea. I have got by this far, it must work out for me.
