Me Like To Learn With Brain....

I feel I learn best when information is passed to me in an orderly fashion within a sequential and logical framework. I am able to quickly understand new languages and appreciate the nuances of  a particular article. Details of information are fascinating to me and I am able to process by analysis an verbalization any auditory and visual information with ease. However, this very attention to detail can prove a hurdle to my learning process because at times the overall picture is not clear to me as I am too focused on the details. I also find it difficult occasionally to connect and empathize on an emotional basis to a character or the theme of what I read. I understand that learning is best achieved by utilizing all sensory-motor modalities and both hemispheres of the brain. Therefore, it is my intention to learn by stimulating the left hemisphere through sequential processing while simultaneously engaging the right lobe by listening to classical music. I am hopeful that through this, my learning process and focus will increase exponentially.

I need to develop my gestalt aspect of my brain whereby I can utilize the unlimited potential of the human mind to the utmost, realizing that most of us only use 5 percent of our brain during our waking hours. I wish to double my learning process by outsourcing another ten or fifteen percent and to complement the left and right side of the brain in order to achieve maximum learning capacity.

In order to achieve the above, discipline is essential. It is crucial that I try to curb the exclusivity of the usage of the left brain by including the right lobe in any learning procedure. In other words, while engaged in solving logical-mathematical problem, the right hemisphere of my brain should also be occupied through exposure to auditory stimulus. Secondly, realizing that, under duress, I tend to be distracted by details, I need to develop the habit of seeing the bigger picture at all times. Lastly, I need to loosen up and be more spontaneous, and put greater trust in my instincts.

I would like my teachers to know that I appreciate all the hard-work they have put in to assist me in becoming a better student. To me, studying is fun and I enjoy the challenges and intellectual stimulation provided by the school environment. Knowing  my weaknesses will help me to identify and overcome them, knowing my limitations enables me to work within my comfort zone but allows me the occasional indulgence of venturing out. As I evolve physically and mentally, I would like my teachers to know that their contribution and influence will add polish the final product.
