Positive Learner Identity

Consider the following aspects of learning – Reading for information

Provide a SPECIFIC example of when you used that strength to help you successfully complete an assignmentor task. What class was it in? What was the assignment/task? HOW did this learning strength help you be successful?

: In the esl social class, there were many assignments that had to read and find the information what I want. In particular, I had to read many books and presentation while studying Canada History. At first, I had so hard and difficult to read the vast amount of information, but I soon got used to it as doing the assignments. My own strenght, reading the information, helped me to be improved more. I could eventually develop my skills of comprehending and paraphrasing, leading to pursue perfecting the assignment with more high quality.

I am not sure that my own strenght was fully showed in this class. I hope my efforts was good enough to be recognized, and in following semester, I hope I can express and show all my strenghts and ability.

Core Competency Reflection

I can ask questions, make predictions, and use my senses to gather information.

When I got questions, I tried to ask to teacher and understand the point. The Canada Geographics and history was one of the rough courses for me due to its unfamiliar terminologies. However, I made predictions of each word and then found its meaning through the internet. This process was very helpful to me, improving my prediction skills toward unfamiliar words, and could also boarden my view of reading information.

Core Competency Goals

I show others that I truly value their contributions by…

Recently, the leadership is regarded as one of the most important talent. Many schools make leadership programs or the programs related to leadership in order to grow students’ leadership. And I think, I have a leadership to lead a group, which raises members’ contributions. Before I come to Canada, I was a leader in most of the groups. I was prime minster of our school, and was in charge of many projects. During many activities, I met many kinds of people and experienced various types of tasks. Based on my background, I can deal with lots of difficulties and adjust members’ opinion without polemic. This part makes me contribute in every group works.

Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include…

When something hard to deal with comes, I usually watch nextflix. Thinking about difficulties always makes me more stressful. I just procrastinate, and try to stay calm. There is old saying ‘This too shall pass’. This proverb emphasizes the value of time, and this cannot be more true in modern society. Pushing back doesn’t bring the good result, but it is certain that times sometimes heals the wounds. In addition, just to stay healthy, I try to walk. I literally love walking, so sometimes I walked to school, although it takes about 40 minutes. Walking helps me to stay healthy and fresh my brain.

One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is…

I love drawing. While drawing, I feel like given to daydreaming. It makes me image about unknown things. Watching movies also stimulates my imagination. While watching movies, I think about details on it, and just wondering about it. Or sometimes I think about the relationship between main role deeply. I’m not certain it is imagination, but it makes me thinking about next scenario, same as thinking about unknown things.
