My Effective Learning Experiences

My most effective in-class learning experience, was listening to lectures in high school. From those lectures, I found auditory learning to actually be the best way for me to learn. Even During lectures in high school I always took detailed notes, because I realized I could not remember the lecture without having an outline on paper. Also taking notes helped me stayed focus in class, and active in the mind. In addition, most of my teachers were all about the concept of students listening and taking notes. I can also mention from this experience, that I learned a lot about my personality. For instance, I realized I love to write, and I can use that aspect in college. I am also aware of the advantage that I enjoying note taking, and that benefits me in most classes here at Converse. I can use that trait to stay focus, and aware of what’s going on in my classes. It is also a good study tool my notes that I take for future test.
My most effective outside learning experience was finding belief in myself. I learned through trial and error that life is about trusting yourself. One of my experiences that inspired me to believe in myself was when my high school advisor of my school paper pointed me as editor and chief. At first I declined, and despite that, she insisted and inspired me into taking the position. She basically told me that I have to give myself more credit than I do in my life. She helped me believe in myself, and that actually inspired me to come to Converse. I am truly a better person and much more positive about what I am capable of doing in my life. Also with this advantage I am more determined to achieve my goals at Converse within my classes. I am also more open to outside activities outside of Converse like volunteering.
