A talent that I posses is athleticism. I am very gifted with the ability to play sports and I am pretty good at most sports without even trying. I've always had determination to work hard in sports and they have always been the most enjoyable part of my life.

School is very hard to stay focused at for 6 hours a day at such a young age. I feel like I should have more freedom but I am working on being more focused.

My phone definitely has a great effect on how I learn and my focus during class. It is hard for me to stay focused with my phone around me

The environment around school effects me cause there are different environments. there are some where I know people and certain ones where I don't which effects my social skills.

I may need support on learning in a simplified way.I may need support on studying and taking notes in class.

I don't feel I need help with much besides maybe social skills. My social skills aren't bad, I just don't use them very often

All I could ask from a teacher would just be to listen. In the past it has been hard because my teacher would not listen to my problems in their course and I could not get the mark I feel like I deserved

My phone is a great tool to use as It has many possibilities. such as searching things on the internet or using it as a calculator or other learning tool

Again my phone interests me and keeps me interested throughout a class since I will not become bored and will still have drive to complete my work.Learning things that are fun and interesting can help me stay focused since I want to learn new things that I could use as conversation starters.

Some actions that you can use to help me could be by using visual tools like videos and the chalkboard so I would be able to visually be able to picture whatever is shown.

It helps me learn when classmates ask questions and are quiet when needed to. I am pretty talkative but while working I need a near silent environment

These will help me stay interested because I will always have something to do throughout the day.When I stay interested, I stay focused so always being interested is something I always try to achieve

I enjoy having a test that does not require memory work but knowledge work. I like when you have access to something that will lead you to the answer if you are aware of the question going on.

I think technology is one of, if not the most important aspect of learning nowadays. It is used in every class and makes class a hundred times easier than it would be without it.using your phone should only be for school related reasons unless you are on a break or finished work
