Recommended: Why is being on time important

One example of being on time in my life is being on time for work. On Thursdays I have to be at work at 3 o’clock in order to allow the other secretary to go home, therefore it is extremely important for me to be on time. My strategies for being on time for work are leaving 10 minutes before I have to be at work, having my outfit laid out the night before, having all of my things I need to work on at work already in my bag, and having a snack already made.
Being busy helps build a well rounded individual. I go to school 5 days a week, I work Thursday through Saturday, go to church on Sunday, in addition to maintaining an A average in school, and belonging to multiple clubs and organizations within the school. My strategies for staying busy …show more content…

One positive learning experience I have been apart of was when one of my good friends spent an entire class period helping me figure out a single math problem. By the end of the class period I finally understood the problem which helped me on the final exam tremendously. In addition to learning how the equation worked, I also learned how great of a friend I had in my life who would take an entire class to help me with a single concept. I recently had to do the same thing for one of my other friends because she only showed up to our psychology class once this past week. It was a positive learning experience for the both of us, me gaining experience practicing my teaching strategies and for her, gaining knowledge on what we had …show more content…

This coming Wednesday I have a meeting after school, have to fill in for the other secretary at work, have to teach a bible lesson for the children’s ministry at my church, have to study for a psychology test, and make the agenda for the following day’s NHS meeting . This has been a negative learning experience for me, seeing that I have taken way too much onto my plate for this particular day. I could have handled the entire situation differently by cancelling my meeting after school and declining the request to fill in for my coworker. I learned that it’s ok not to say yes to everybody when they ask for my help if it is too much for me to take

  • Personal Growth Through Learning

    I’ve made it my passion to be a life-long learner to sharpen my skills, abilities and God-given talent. When an individual doesn’t make a conscience effort to expand their minds, then they are actually making a decision to begin to digress. Being an older college student, my desire is to learn everything that I possibly can with the aid of Victory University. It was fascinating reading about Rene’ Descartes who grew up in France. Descartes was also a life-long learner. He was the thinker and writer who coined the phrase, “I think, therefore I am” (Gluck, Mercado, & Myers, 2014, p. 7). Although Descartes existed during the time of the Renaissance, his theory that the eyes were significant to stimulating other parts of the body, such as the fingers, arms and legs was brilliant. It is now understood that this” process begins with the stimulus, a sensory event from the outside world entering” through the eyes (Gluck et al., 2014, p. 7).

  • Effective Teaching Essay

    3013 Words  | 7 Pages

    In order to be an effective teacher there needs to be an understanding that we all learn differently, this means that no single teaching strategy is effective for all students/learners all the time. This makes teaching a complex process because you need to understand and meet the requirements of all of your learners. Students learn best when they aren’t asked to simply memorise information but when they form their own understandings of what is being taught. When a student has successfully learnt a new idea they are able to then intergrate this information with their previously learnt information and make sense of it. To be an effective teacher you need to work jointly with students to asses where they are at, be able to give feedback on how the student is going and ensure that they are understanding the lesson (Killen, 2013) According to Lovat and Smith (2003) students learning must result in a change in a student’s understanding of the information being taught. In order to show understanding they must be able to share this information with others and want to learn more (Killen, 2013). In order to have a deeper understanding of what is being taught they need to be aware of the relationship that exists between what they knew previously and the new information that is being learned (Killen, 2013).. Students need to be given goals that they can achieve in order to feel a sense of mastery over their own learning, this gives students motivation that they are able to complete tasks and to keep going.

    Looking at my own approach to time management I have noticed that I am well organised and good at prioritising tasks and jobs. When I log onto my computer to start my shift I am sent down numerous jobs, each job is different and has different deadlines for attendance and completion. I plan my day based around the date and time deadlines of the jobs and also the locations of the jobs. I then schedule the most effective order of completing the jobs, putting high priority jobs at the top of my list and grouping sites that are geographically close to each other. By effectively planning my day I keep a focused attitude towards my work and I have time to think about tasks and situations, rather tha...

    Humans are so different when learning that there are not enough names to describes all the ways of learning that exist, as each person has a different one. Learning is a process in which we get to know things about a subject that we do not have much knowledge about and we try to understand the concepts behind it. Each one of us has specific needs, factors or strategies that influence this process and helps it to be as productive as it can be. Personally I think that we all, by the time we get into college, know our specific needs, factors and strategies in which we tend to study and learn in a more productive way. In terms of needs I tend to prefer studying with someone as this helps me to share ideas and also be an auditory learner. The factors that are
