Personality:

As a person, I am a extravert. I love being in crowds and social situations. I work better when there is human interaction. My energy level matches the atmosphere around me and when I am alone, there is not much going on. I feel alive and free with others but at the same time there can be times where I find myself annoyed or angry in large groups

Who Am I?

Learning Styles

1. Kinesthetic

As my favourite learning style, when I am active doing tasks and assignments I put in a much better effort. I put all of my energy and attending into my cutest tasks. I will always have a positive mind and can work for countless hours.

2. Auditory

Secondly, I can listen to someone and do exactly what they instructed to do. I defiantly use this learning style the most because being active in classrooms is not practical. In the end I would prefer if I was physically instructed but behind being a kinaesthetic learner, auditory is my go to option.

3. Visual

Lastly, I scored the lowest as a visual learner. When I am watching someone do something there are occasions I can repeat their lead but besides that the information goes right through my head. I tend to loose focus when I am watching someone give instructions visually. Unusually, If the presentation or instructions are engaging and interesting I will absorb all of the information and remember it.

Motivations:

I am motivated by watching my progression and the end result. When I watch myself achieve greatness I always want too go further and do more. Then I reach the end goal and look back and feel rewarded. Its amazing the things I can do when I stay devoted and see progress. No matter how long it takes, the end goal is worth it. Stay patient and ride it out is my mentality to Gain motivation for tasks I don't enjoy doing it. When I stay grounded and set goals I will always be motivated to out do my previous goal
