  • Personal Narrative: My Intellectual Growth

    410 Words  | 1 Pages

    There is a quote, of contested origins, having no rightful owner. That quote is recited as follows: "Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” While we stand in hindsight, we often look back upon where we came and what experiences brought us to the point we are now. I think of this quote often as I reflect upon my intellectual growth. I wonder how my life might have been different had I not been told I was stupid. I sat depressed thinking of the intellectual challenges that will face Shane and how those same challenges adversely affected my will to learn. In that moment, I faced a monumental question: If we are comparable thinkers, are we compare

    As the dull scent of chalk dust mixes imperceptably with the drone of the teacher's monotone, I doodle in my tablet to stay awake. I notice vaguely that, despite my best efforts in the shower this morning after practice, I still smell like chlorine. I sigh and wonder why the school's administration requires the students to take a class that, if it were on the Internet, would delight Mirsky (creator of Mirsky's Worst of the Web), as yet another addition to his list of worthless sites. Still, there was hope that I would learn something that would make today's first class more than just forty-five wasted minutes... It wouldn't be the first time I learned something new from the least likely place.

I loved scheming on how to avoid going to school most of the time. I loved feigning sickness. I learned the hard way. During my junior high school, I developed a bad habit of avoiding school, something common among my age group or peer. I loved staying home to watch and listen to favorite talk shows.

  • Personal Narrative Learning: The Importance Of Learning

    1583 Words  | 4 Pages

    Because humans are the only beings that tell stories, storytelling has become an integral element in human genetic makeup. Stories have been told for as long as mankind learned how to speak and communicate. The practice of storytelling has been passed down through cultural milieus, ballads, parodies, poems, autobiographies, journals, parables, and tales. In fact, many of these narratives have influenced how we learned and shaped our values, morals, and beliefs. Clark & Rossiter (2008) offer that narrative learning through stories, “involves stories heard, stories told, and stories recognized” (p. 65). In light of that, this paper will begin with a brief conception of narrative learning, followed by a personal narrative story that influenced my life as an adult, what was learned from this and why, and finally the importance of narrative learning as it relates to adult learners.

  • Essay On My Learning Style

    802 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over a person’s lifetime, individuals develop particular skills enabling him or her to be either visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners. The specific learning behavior most attractive to how an individual learns is a “manner in which a learner perceives, interacts with, and responds to the learning environment” (Celcia-Murcia, 2001, p. 469). Knowing which learning style greatly affects the individual’s learning process reinforces utilization of the characteristics that an individual displays as their strongest traits. In addition, a person that becomes aware of these traits can achieve more efficient knowledge and enhance their performance, while giving considerable control over their weakest modalities. Whether a person has a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learning style, each will exemplify their own traits and methods for improving their learning process. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the visual learning style, including the strategies an individual can use to improve one’s clarity when reading, and establish qualified research to display more validity in writing. Furthermore, explain the relevance of other’s learning styles to increase persuasiveness during the writing process, and how visual learners can use their skill to apply critical thinking.
