A Broad Outlook on My Learning Development
When I began searching through my past, I realized that it is not an easy task to determine one’s own learning development throughout his or her past. One of my major problems was that I had no clue where to even start. As time passed and memories began flowing through my mind, I started realizing what kind of student I was, and the many different phases of becoming a true learning student. I was quite surprised to find the many ways that I changed my study habits, as well as the many factors that influenced these changes, including the most important one of all, technology.
My learning development was pretty consistent from elementary through high school. I never really studied outside of the classroom during these years, but mainly because I always gave my best effort in the classroom. I made good grades for the most part, and always enjoyed working in groups. Sports were never a bother to my studies, and I actually tried harder when I was participating in sports, so that my coaches would see that I was a hard worker on and off the field. Though these years were not too challenging, the first semester of college at Clemson University brought about countless hours of studying in the library, as well as more papers than I wanted to write. I have learned to accept these challenges, and I plan to continue to excel in my studies.
One of my most favorite classes in the years previous to college was English. Though grammar was somewhat of a challenge, I grew to like the subject and always enjoyed writing papers. I have a pretty descent imagination, and I was never scared to put it to use. Most of my English teachers were laid back and rather lenient. I wrote a quite a few research papers throughout high school, wrote in a competitive assignment, and wrote many essays in attempt to receive scholarships for college. I won an Award in the 5th grade for an essay I wrote, and I ended up receiving quite a few scholarships due to some of the essays I wrote.
High school brought about a whole new world to me in technology. Before then, I knew very little about the internet, text messaging, instant messaging, or the many search engines used for research. The use of the internet has helped me tremendously, and I now use it for many ways of communication, most importantly Facebook. I also use the internet by watching tons of videos on Youtube. Another part of technology that I use daily is text messaging. I carry out whole conversations through texting, and would much rather text someone than call them.
In conclusion, I will have to say that I really enjoyed looking back deep into my past and finding out what kind of student I have been over the many years of school. Each year brings more and more challenges, but I am learning to rise to these challenges and take them on with my best possible effort.
