A1 My Learning Style

My Mother has always said that I was diiferent than my brothers and sisters. Now that I am older It is much easier for me to see. I am a deep thinker. I have a million and one ideas in my head. I don't like to say that I am an introvert, I am actually very outgoing, but within in me I have a very spiritual and emotional side that I keep to myself. One that I don't think my siblings have ever been able to reach. I think that it is this quality that has developed my type of learning into what it is today. I was asked to interview a close relative about my learning style for my English class. I chose her because I knew that a mother knows her child better than anyone else. This is what she said.

It was interesting to see how others view me as a student, how they thought I learned best. I think my Mom described my learning style pretty well. I seem to learn best by doing things on my own allowing my mind to solve the problem rather than being told what to do. From what she said, I was a very smart child but didn't always live up to my potential. Igree with her. Throughout highschool I never truly had to try hard to do well. I made A's and B's and seemed to be satisfied at that. She wonders what I really could have been had I really focused and did my best at everything. But for me, I like to allow myself to be free to think and to create on my own terms. I don't believe I could have developed the person I am today had I not allowed myself to slack every now and then.
