My Learning Profile! My learning Profile is K!


In class were doing some test for what learning profile we were. I found out that I am a gestalt learner, and that means I learn best through moving. My results also show that my dominant eye is the left, my dominant ear is the right, my dominant leg and arm are right and my dominant side of the brain is the right. Which shows my learning profile is the letter K. That was some facts I learned from the test.


I learn best when I am moving around. I am a visual learner and use three dimension perspectives and emotional elements to learn. When I am relaxed and easily communicate the details and sequence of information when talking. I don't follow things step by step. When I am stressed I may have difficulty saying what I want to say, hearing properly or remembering what is being taught. I often see the big picture but sometime I don't know how to start a task. I have an eye that scan's from left to right and have a problem reading English well. I understand best when being shown something threw movement as seeing how things works help me understand clearly. For me to understand best I need to get a clear idea of the big picture. I learn and memorize thing's better when it is explained in an Image. This is how I learn best.

I need to move or else the information can’t be processed. Because I learn best through moment, I can’t understand much if I’m sitting still. Usually I tap my foot in class. Also I do better when I’m not focusing on one thing but like a whole picture.

The strategies that would help me in my learning are since I am a gestalt learner, I learn better through movement. So I could try to tap my foot, which makes me concentrate. Also I could take notes, so I could understand what we were doing better. That were some strategies that would help me in my learning.

I would like teachers to know that I understand that even though I seem to sometimes be playing around it is because I can't focus. I get really frustrated. I would also like my teachers to know this about me is that my left eye scans from right to left. Another thing that I would like my teachers to know about me is that I prefer not to follow instructions. Another thing is that when I am under stress, I may have difficulty communicating, listening and remembering.

I hope that my teacher's learn my profile well so they have better chance seeing what I am capable at doing and what I am not capable of doing. Also they could know what things I need to practice on to be a better student.

Good Bye 2010 and Welcome 2011

It was almost 12 pm to ring for 2011. I was waiting for countdown and then my heart started to pump so fast. Since it became January of 2011 in a short time I found it really exciting and surprised. Also, I decided to make my New Year’s resolution.  Here are my resolutions:

My first New Year resolution is to get better grades than now. The reason why I think I need to get a better grade is because first my parents are really proud of me when I get good grades. This is very important to me because I feel really happy when my parents are proud of me. The other reason is because getting good grade and studying hard can help me be better at the subject and will help me achieve goals. When I grow up, I want to try many jobs to see which job fits me. Some of the jobs such as a teacher, I need to be very smart enough to teach the other students. These are the two reasons why my New Year resolution is to get better grades. And to achieve this New Year resolution, I need to work hard and study hard not only for my parents but for me! Hope I can achieve this New Year resolution in 2011.

My second New Year resolution is to read more books. Few days ago, I met a friend she was a college student. She had come to Malaysia because her family is living here. She goes to a school in America and she was very organized and seemed like she tried her best for her studies. She had told me after going to school that books she had read had helped her in many different kinds of ways. For example she said that it helps you to learn lots of vocabulary and she said that it helps to write essays and so on. I was shocked, thinking that just by reading books that can help me study for lots of other things. Since I learned that, I am going to try my best and read as many books as I can.

My winter break was ok on the first and on the last weeks. I went swimming everyday for two hours and a half or two hours.  I went swimming training in our school pool. Swimming was sometimes kind of hard but I had to train hard because of the swimming meet that coming up.

Another thing that I did that was my favorite part of this holiday was on Wednesday on the second week of holidays because we were going to an island called Tioman. It was fun because my family and I went on this cool airplane. It was also really fun because my family and I got to go inside the sea and the pool and the water there was so beautiful. Also on New Year’s Eve, they had that big party which they had all these cool games and activities that was really fun. They had all these cool prizes to for every game. But the only thing that I did not like about this four day vacation was that I got a fever that stayed with me for three full days.  But that was still ok.  This was my holidays.

 :)  I Hope You Enjoyed My First 2011 blog post :)
