Assess the Impact of Key Influences on the Personal Learning Processes on Own Learning.

There are many factors that can have an influence on my learning. One of them is my friends. My friends can influence my learning by distracting me during lessons and also by helping me to catch up on work. In some ways, friends can motivate me because they encourage me to do my work and to get my assignments done on time. They also motivate me because they assist me with my work when I need it instead of waiting to ask a tutor which cannot be done as easily; I can easily call a friend. Friends have a positive influence on me because they are aware of the things that I am doing so that they know what I should be working on, mainly because my friends are all doing the same course as me. A negative affect that they have on my learning is sometimes we spend a whole lesson going off topic and talking about what happened on our weekends which is something that can be discussed on the lunch breaks rather than the all important lessons.
Another one of the factors that can influence my learning is my health. Health problems can influence my learning in many ways which could be tiredness, physical illness, poor diet or mental illness. Health problems could motivate me to work because it might make me more determined to show other people that being ill whether physically or mentally is not an excuse for me to slack on my work which could push me to exceed more with my work that I would do usually. Health problems have a positive influence on me because if I am ill, I will most likely be at home which is where I get most of my work done successfully as I find doing coursework at college difficult due to noise and the distractions around me. Health problems can have a negative effect on me because if I was very physically ill, I would not have the energy to be able to do coursework. Also, if I was seriously ill and had to go to the hospital for treatment, I would have to miss out on college work unless someone brought it into the hospital for me.
Family can also influence my
