Reflective Essay
Over the years I have learned a lot about my self from my time at ACLC. I notice that I tend to do the bare minimum when it comes to school work. As in I don't like to put in extra effort, also I like to wait to do things at the last possible second. Why do something now when you have time to do it late, words to live by. I feel I have mastered the art of procrastination, and I do in fact work better under pressure. Although these tactics work at ACLC I may have to learn better time management skills later in life. I can improve by planning out my time well and finished tasks on time and before the due dates.
My strengths when it comes to school is most defiantly Science. I do not like doing math because I feel like I cant apply it to any of my interests. English is also not my favorite subject because it requires lots of writing which I am not the best at, also it tends to confuse me. If there was something I would want to improve on it would be English and writing in general. I think i like Science the most because it is more hands on and I am able to test things out for myself. In College i plan to study Food Science, so this should be a helpful strength to have.
I tend to use the same learning technique when I am presented with a new set of knowledge and with pretty much every assignment I do. I like to give myself a lot of time to do an assignment; this ensures that I am not rushing. I also have found that I learn the best from hand on learning styles, as well as doing homework does actually help me. I always try to approach something with my own view point and try to do it in a new way. The system that we live in is constantly changing and there is always a need for a new outlook and new information. That is why I feel I will be successful in the future if I apply myself. Its important to picture things with a symbolic point of view, see things for more then just what they are on the outside.
The time I have spent at ACLC has made me very good at working in groups. A lot of the assignments that we are given in class are group assignments and they require working with one or more people. I always do my part when in a group and I feel like I offer good info to my group that helps make our overall project successful. Another one of my strength's is my leadership abilities which i have developed over time. I am in ACLC leadership, I am a boy scout working on my Eagle scout award and I help teach younger scouts skills and guide them. Also i worked as a Sailing instructor for 8-13 years teaching them how to sail small boats. I would say i am good at leading others and that these skills will help me later on in life. I enjoy working with people and being with others for the most part and leading others gives me a strong sense of fulfillment.
I am very up to date with all the latest technology. I use my computer all the time and this day and age is full of new waves of technology. I feel like reliance and the acceptance of technology will only grow in the coming years and more and more generations will be born into new technology. It is actually really useful and i think people will realize how technology can play an important role in their lives. I apply technology to my school work, and i understand how to use most computer programs. I can use technology to better complete my school work and i make use of the internet to do this. My skills when it comes to technology will only continue to help me later on in life.
