In order to be a resourceful learner, I've developed skills such as writing in my planner, checking SchoolLoop, and prioritizing my assignments. I still really need to practice getting work done extremely effectively. As of now, I get my work done pretty effectively, but I'm trying to get my work done faster so I have more time to do nothing. I also need to work on focusing, which comes hand in hand with working effectively. If I can train myself not to zone out, the rest will come easily.
My greatest challenge working collaboratively would probably be listening to other people. It's not that I'm not a good listener, I just don't have the patience to listen to other people's ideas when I already have one in mind. I also have a hard time trying to get other people to listen to me. Mostly because I get really frustrated if they don't get the idea the first time, and then I just start yelling. People don't necessarily listen to me when I yell, so then I just end up wanting to punch a wall.
To be honest, I haven't really contributed as much to the school culture this year as I would like. This year, I keep to myself more because there are so many strangers. It was so much easier to be a part of this school because we were all so tight-knit. There were days that I would stay here until 9 or 10, helping out teachers and at open houses. Now, they have so many other people, I'm not really needed as much.
My favorite learning experience so far has been College Level US History. I chose this particular class as my favorite learning experience because I've never had anything like it. The class is like my bread and butter, because I love American History. This class is also ten times more amazing because of Professor Henig. He makes it so easy to understand and more exciting.
