According to the brain diagram, my personality spectrum is a thinker. The personality of a thinker has strengths in solving problems by creating new models and systems. Perform best in projects that require analytical skills and solving problems. I dislike the repetitive tasks since they are annoying, and I love exploring new things. I love relationships that allow freedom and independence and allow time alone for thinking and reading. I learn best in quiet times to reflect on new ideas. More importantly, it becomes easier to learn when the information is converted into logical charts and graphs as the help interpretation of a concept easier. My best teaching style would be using participative style where student engagement is highly valued, thereby making it fun and active.
The learning journey has been a success due to understanding the best study techniques that improved my mastery and retention of concepts. Three learning styles improved y learning outcomes which included pre-test and paraphrasing and reflecting. Pre-test helped me in gaining the curiosity to know the answers to question and explore more learning materials (Rivera et al., 2019). After exploring the concepts on my own, I would paraphrase using the most straightforward language or how I understood and then reflect on what I had learnt at each learning period.
The end of the journey is the beginning of another. The knowledge will help me practise what was acquired as well as set the pace to further my studies. It is my wish that I will be able to continue to the university for masters and later for a PhD. To accomplish this plan, it will require a considerable amount of money. The first step in preparing the plan is to seek employment to practice my career and also to gather funds for paying university fees and find scholarships. The second step is analyzing different universities that offer my career specialization to ensure that I have a variety of options when the time comes.
Despite the benefit that I have acquired through improving knowledge, I was able to discover that I can make a good leader, work better under pressure and love engaging in fun activities. Besides, the semester was tough and required a lot of commitments. Through commitment, I accomplished better performance according to what I expected and making the best out of my free time by joining community work projects. The learning has in sighted me to raise and invest $ 5,000 in my own business after two years of leaving college as a way to boost my financial success. For personal development, I will engage in exercising for physical fitness to be active and ensure wellness.
In the course of my learning, I have understood that personal wellness is equally essential in the delivery of expected outcomes in education. Therefore, I intend to engage in stress management wellness program offered through counselling. Further, I will engage in physical fitness activities which will help to improve mental, emotional and physical health. Throughout the course, I have learned a lot, and the idea is still fresh in my mind and well equipped to practice. The strategy that will continue to use from the course is analyzing the root cause of problems before rushing to give solutions. The approach does not only apply in my career life but also will enhance personal development and making decisive actions.
