As an enrolled student, I believe it is of great significance to find which strategy we can benefit from the most. I want to walk away from a course knowing I gained the knowledge I need to suffice in life. I have begun to realize this is not a step that happens overnight. I have both strengths and weaknesses in all three categories. Though, I can retain the most information

In "Learning to Read" by Malcom X, I believe that the topic is about how important it is for one to know how to read. Malcom clearly expresses his thirst for knowledge and wanting to learn more, exclaming that he "was so fascinated that (he) went on- (he) copied the dictonary's next page." I also, after a lot of time, consider the audience to be readers whom are interested in how Malcom became such and active reader. Malcom expresses how he "became increasingly frustrated, at not being able to espress

The next visit to service learning was in the afternoon. We had lots of activity. I spent outside with children and the wether was sunny and good for kids to get more vitamin D. We really enjoyed played around. One of the kids was so sweet and stay beside me all the time and asked me to play with him, I just felt happy and how simple that kids.

A school or community service where I have volunteered my time is when I ran a hotdog stand for the Breakfast for Learning charity. Breakfast for Learning is a non-profit organization with the purpose to provide breakfast for children that do not have it available to them for various reasons such as financial and no parents. My role was to set up a barbecue and cook both regular and halal hotdogs which were given out to people for free, with an optional donation that would go to the previously mentioned

1) One of your classmates sincerely believes he/she has an undiagnosed learning disability. He has difficulty typing notes fast enough to keep up with the pace of the professor’s lecture. You noticed the student recording lectures in your psych/soc/cog class so he can go back and fill in the blanks in his notes later on.

College Prep Writing Learning Styles Reflection (W.11-12.5) I am a mixed learner and surprised about it too, my scores on the test were 50% auditory, 10% visual, and 40% tactile. To be an auditory learner I use sounds and have a hard time remembering things if they were not spoken aloud in some way. I am a talker that sings and hums to myself when I get bored or nervous, though I am paying attention or understanding what is being said, it does not seems as I am.
