Everything I Have Learned About Myself In GLS Alyssa B

Study Notes and Test Taking Strategies

I feel much more confident to take tests and quizzes in the future after learning about the Three Column System. I really like the idea of this strategy because it is very tidy and easy to write and review information.

In addition, I think the RUMP rule is going to also help me do better on tests in the future because I always seem to rush questions and accidentally skip words so then I do not understand but this is finally something I can do to prevent that.

Learning Styles

I found that I am a visual learner. This is because I find looking at graphic images and graphs significantly more effective than listening to lectures or being hands on with my learning environment.

This is helpful for me to know in high school/college because I can communicate to my teacher/professor the best way I learn and this in turn can help the teacher manage time more wisely by possibly suiting my and other students learning styles.

Smart Goals

Now I understand how to write and plan out my own goals.

This knowledge can be beneficial in high school, the workplace and even my own personal life. Generally speaking, knowing how to set reasonable goals can really help you work towards and acheive your dreams. As some people say, "a goal without a plan is just a wish."

Left Brain Right Brain

I have learned that I have a dominate right brain which means that I belong to the "creative" category.

Even though the results may possibly be incorrect, this gives me an idea on how my brain works so I could start searching for occupations that I could excel in.

True Colours

My colour is gold so that means that I value order and being respectful which is good to know about myself.

Now I can incorporate what I know about my colour into future decisions like in high school and jobs. Considering my colour, some examples of potential future jobs that I am interested in are an air traffic controller, a nurse and a physical therapist.

Memory And Note-Taking Strategies

The note taking strategy that I really like and am hoping to use in my future high school classes is the outline method because it seems simple and easy to create effective notes.

The memory strategy that I have used before and I have learned that is helpful for studying is repetition to get the topics and key words stuck in my head.

Schedules

I never knew that I would actually enjoy following a schedule and having an organized way of doing things. It is very convenient for me to follow a schedule now and in the future because I found I got overwhelmed less and felt more put-together and regulated.

Multiple Intelligences

On the Find Your Intelligence quiz, I found that I scored mainly in the music category. That is interesting because I used to play piano and took a few vocal and guitar lessons but quit about a year ago. The reason I found this interesting is because I thought that I forgot all my learned musical knowledge but possibly not. This can be helpful to possibly find a job or collage that includes music.
