I was surprised to learn that I am an innovating learner. I often find myself looking for other ways to resolve an issue. I learn things easier if I am able to visualize. My English 141 class is going to be difficult for me. I struggle with writing. I find it difficult to form a topic sentence and I also have a hard time elaborating on a topic. Writing has always been a challenge for me and that is what English is based on. I am not sure what my instructors teaching methods are yet since it is still the first week of school but since this is an online course the advantage is that it feel somewhat impersonal. Seeing as though I am more of a visual learner, online school has been a challenge. My textbook however, seems to offer quite a bit of useful information. In the future I can make sure that I set aside enough studying time, I will participate in class discussions, and read even when I am not asked to. In my previous semester I found the live discussions to be very helpful. I will also contact my tutors when I need to and visit the school library. Other things that I will do is to make sure that I have a balance to reduce chaos, and feel passionate about what I want. I will learn to be more open-minded. I will allow others to share their views on different learning techniques. Being a person that find it easier to learn visually, I had never thought to use symbols and pictures as learning tools. Finally, I will make sure that my short and long term goals are set. Once I am focused on these goals, my determination in school will grow stronger and I will work harder. After I earn my associates degree I am planning to pursue an administrative position. My English classes are an asset to such a position since I will have many reading and writing tasks. I will make sure that I am passionate about what want. I suppose all of the changes would fall
