What kind of learner am I?
I have struggled my way through school. It has always been hard for me to focus, even now being an adult student. I need to talk a lot of breaks during homework....okay I'm back... I need fidget throughout classes, and I just have a hard time sitting still. I never officially got diagnosed with ADD but I have the textbook definitely of it. Often times during a lesson, I would zone out and forget what was being taught. I even struggle with that today. One of the advantages of being an adult student is I have really come to know my strengths and weaknesses. I have learned that I am a hand out learner, I prefer to learn through actively doing the work and moving around the classroom to discuss what the class is learning. When it comes to studying and homework, I need a quiet space with no distractions. I cannot have my phone by me or the tv on and when using my computer I get easily distracted by opening other browsers. My goal when doing homework will be to work in increments. I complete part of a task and then move on to something else otherwise I get too unfocused and bored with it. It is easier for me to shuffle around. As I have gotten older and more motivated with school, it has been easier to organize my tasks and stay more on task but I still need small breaks throughout.
Well this is a huge accomplishment to just go to school and better yourself especially going to school to become a teacher. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you. Just focus on how to focus. I know it was extremely hard for me to concentrate when there was noise in the background. I really had to learn how to tone that noise or someone else talking.
