Learning and What Not

FEAR.  Fear is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about learning. My next feelings are anxiety and excitement. When a teacher says, “We will be learning about covalent bonds” I do not have a very pleasant reaction. One, because I am not good at all in chemistry, and two is because I don’t like the feeling of failing even if it’s okay to fail sometimes. Then, we learn what we have to learn…and I’m lost! I am a visual learner and my chemistry teacher reads the things we see on the boards. That’s not helping me at all in any way what so ever because I know how to read already. Lastly, I go to my teammate and ask her for some help. Gina then tutors me and helps me find the solution to my problems. I like learning new things at my own pace and when I’m not depending my entire life’s career on it. If I fail chemistry I do not have a chance into making it into the nursing program. That devastates me just think about it and that’s why not all my learning experiences go well.

                When it comes to learning about what other ways can make you a better writer, or learning about rhetoric, or why the healthcare in America is changing so much I don’t seem to panic as intensely. I get into a much more comfortable stage and get sprung over my own excitement. I think learning is very fun when it comes to learning new things that I know I will do well in or at least have a good time learning about. To end this..my experience with learning science based and things that are out of this world don’t really fit into my favorite section of learning, but when it comes to new, fun, hands-on type of stuff I really enjoy the lessons and myself.
