Recommended: Factors that influence motivation in learning

I believe that I have numerous skills that have allowed me to excel in school but I have my flaws, as does everyone. I have been told many times, “It’s not how smart you are, but how you’re smart.” I find this to be quite true, but I don’t believe it to mean that you cannot learn to become smarter in different areas. I have hopes that the IB/ALP program will do many things to help me further succeed beyond what I could expect, by helping me achieve my goals, work towards ameliorating in my weaknesses, heighten my potential, and open new possibilities for me that I couldn’t believe possible. The IB/ALP Program is a good fit for me as I am a thinker and as I am open-minded as per how they are defined. Though, as an area for improvement, I believe that I must work towards becoming a risk-taker to allow myself to increase my calibre.
I am very interested in different languages and cultures. I find it very interesting how many different people across the world have developed a language of their own and how different some languages truly can be. I am fascinating by how different sentence structures were created and thereby, also the etymology of words in not only English, but in various languages. It was when my parents had enrolled me in the French Immersion Program that this enthusiasm for languages had commenced. As a result of my fondness of languages, I have been able to learn English, French, Hindi, and Punjabi. Though, I have also been studying Japanese since the age of 9 and I have also started to learn Spanish since last summer. It was this passion and the support from my encouraging teachers that had allowed me to excel in the French Immersion Program.
To begin, I see myself as a thinker for the reason that I apply my think...

I couldn 't figure out why I 'm not successful, why it was so hard or why I couldn 't just get the answer. It wasn’t till my eleventh and twelfth grade language arts teacher I find a way to change my circumstance. In that year of my high school career my language arts teacher saw me struggling on a writing prompt that was assigned. He asked me what was going on. I told him that I 'm not in any way good at writing papers. Your going to have to make a draft and this draft is going to suck and that’s the point he said. When you go back to make changes it will become a good paper. It 's okay to fail as long as you learn from them and don’t let them take over. I wrote that paper for his class and received a B.

  • Interpersonal Intelligence: The Strengths Of Multiple Intelligences

    This intelligence helps me better understand myself because I am pretty good at math and it is something that I typically enjoy. This intelligence also says that I am a very structured person and I like organization. I like to know what is going on and how everything is going to work before I start anything. A teacher that I am very close with is very structured and that is why we get along so well with each other. This intelligence affects me negatively because I do not like things that or assignments that are relatively broad or unspecific. I am a person who does not like to make mistake so I like instructions and criteria to be thorough and well explained. The classroom has definitely cultivated this intelligence because with almost everything there are instructions and examples. I am getting into a part of my life where people are not giving me step-by-step directions or instructions and I have to learn to be more independent. From the bestcareermatch.com chart of careers that correlate with the multiple intelligences there are 3 careers that I would happily pursue.

    There are at least twenty-six schools in several parishes that offer French immersion schools. The Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL) is committed to helping students learn French within the state of Louisiana. The efforts of CODOFIL has been to create awareness of the Louisiana French heritage and how it is important to teach it in schools. The program has been more than satisfactory for more than thirty years. Alumni Megan Lindsey, of French immersion school, commented, “Not only were we taught in a wonderful new language, but we learned about our French heritage and connected organically with our culture” (World Language Alumna). This goes to show that language is an important aspect when connecting to culture to the everyday life. If CODOFIL is able to enrich the younger generation into learning French maybe there is a way for the state inspire young adults to learn the Creole language. CODOFIL is an example that we can preserve our culture through
