My name is Faye Burlingame I am 17 and I go to Lake Holcombe School. My computer is a piece of junk and this is my 3rd time typing this so it sucks now because I am VERY IRATE. FYI.
When I think about things I look at them as a whole. Then I break it down into the main topics and pick apart the supporting angles, just like you would when reading an essay. Depending on what I am thinking about really has a notion in weather or not I follow that format. If something is of no interest to me or I do not need to know than I simply ignore it.
When I process information by reading I have to really focus and reread usually because it is almost impossible for me to skim something. It bothers me to leave things out. I have always learned well by listening and doing. When I process something I usually think about the different parts that make up that object that way you know something about it instead of just hearing about it.
I learn well by reading, interacting activities and listening and watching. I have learned to be mostly independent and learn and figure things out on my own. Considering that I am taking this class by myself I have to be able to focus and learn on my own because I can not just turn to a friend and ask them what is going on. In return this allows forces me to become more coherent and out spoken during classes to ask questions. I will get frustrated with this I can guarantee it but it will help me be a better student when it comes to my other classes and college.
I would say that I have a very pessimistic temperament. I have always been that way and just taught myself to never get my hopes up to high on things, that way you are not hurt so bad when something does not quite turn out the way you want it to. I get lectured for it all the time but it is who I am. I am not completely pessimistic I have some optimism. I suppose that I get my qualities after my mother and fathers sides of the family, because at times I can be very stubborn and opinionated and others very laid back and easy going. I have plenty of mixed characteristics in me. I have well rounded values which my mom and dad have always taught me.
This introduction is somewhat Psychological because I am not just sitting here and telling you about my cat and dog and my favorite color. In reading something like this the person is telling you in how their mind works and how they see and think about things. Not just who and what, it is the why and how that we are studying. These introductions are odd questions that probably have not been asked before on how or why we think something. The questions are more on the lines of WHAT we think. In doing this we have to learn about ourselves and others in ways we have not been questioned before.
