Learning Styles: The Ways I Learn

I recently took two tests...the Gardner and Gregoric test. By taking that I honestly learned alot about my learning style. You know how people can be multi-taskers...well I guess you can call me a multi-learner because I got strong scores in many different learning areas.

On the Gardner test it told me that I was strong in Logical and Mathematical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal. this means I like to learn with mathematics, music, hands-on activities, others and lastly just inside myself. When I took the test and examined the results I was astonished because they were all true.

On the Gregoric test it says I have a learning style of Abstract Random and Concrete Random. Basically it showed very similar results to the Gardner test. Thus revealing that I am colorful, emotional, imaginative, a problem-solver, risk-taker, independent, curious and creative person. (which is all true) This can now help me in school because I will know how to study for test and quizzes judging on my learning styles.

3 people I admire are my mom, my dad and my brothers. For my mom I believe she is a Concrete Sequential learner thus means she is a hands on learner which she is. For my dad I think he is a Concrete Random learner because he is independent and likes practical ideas. Lastly my brothers are deffinetly Abstract Random learners like me because pretty much every word under that list fits them.

The Perspective of a Gifted Student

Being Gifted.....
Theres alot of ups and downs to it. And I know because I'm a gifted student.
Many people think being gifted is a bad thing. Your labeled a nerd, dork, smarty-pants but think about it... there are negative lables  for everyone and everything. Its apart of human nature to be labeled as somthing. What those people who lable you dont relize is that when your gifted your also creative,artisticly incliened and special. Being gifted has many ups and downs.
Some ups of being gifted is that it helps you with honors classes and college. Also its gives you a +7 on your GPA. But enough with that. Being gifted also allows you to challenge and be challenged in different things. As well as that you also have more of a creative side than others that allow you to think more freely and express yourself in more artistic ways.
There arent just ups being gifted has some downs to. Some downs of being gifted is that you get teased somtimes and people take advantage of you. Another thing is that people expect a lot of you which is a lot of pressure especailly if your a kid. Also when your gifted people take advantage of you. For example when your in a group they usually expect you to do most f the work.
As well as ups and downs to bieng gifted there are alot of truths and myths.
Some myths of  being gifted is that you get all A's. And that is not true....some people do but not all. Also people tthink that gifted people  are shy, have glasses and sniffle alot and which they dont. Lastly another myth is that they are teachers pets and too smart for others. None of these are true however there are many true things about being gifted.
Some truths about being gifted is that gifted kids have a strong talent. Also gifted students are usually artistically inclined and intelligent. Lastly gifted students develop maturity asynchronously. This means they develop maturity at different levels.
These are the ups and downs and truths and myths of being gifted, from the perspective of a gifted student.

Thats going to be a big change for me so this year I want to try to make it the BEST YEAR EVER!!!!!!!!

Some of my favorite topics to learn about (not just in school) Music, Baking, Sports and the History of our world mainly 9/11 and the Holocaust. 

In my free time i play in a band. the band is called M.E.R.K. Its made up of 4 people Micheal Visalli, Evan Kreutzberg, Ryan Kreutzberg and me! We preform at many different places and its alot of fun!
