Learn Reflection blog post

What has the skill looked like in your 8th grade year?
The skill 'Learn' has looked like many things in my eighth grade year.  I have learned many things through the process of my last year in middle school.  Whether learning how to communicate with teachers or learning how to calm my nerves for tests I have seen what Learn has looked like many times.  Learn has looked like something different in all classes, but overall I learned how to prioritize.  I have put aside less important tasks and begin to work on bigger tasks. Learning has looked like taking notes, seeking help, and many other things in my eighth grade year.

What aspects of the skill have you improved on this year?
I have improved on learning in many different subjects this year.  In Math I have payed better attention and have sought more help when I did not understand something.  By using this skill Math is now my best subject.  In Science I have learned how to take better notes and I am making progress when dealing with my emotions.  Before this year my notes were not well organized and easy to read.  I am now able to read my notes clearly, and this is helpful when I need to look over notes quickly.  In Language Arts and Social Studies I have communicated with my teacher more, which improves my learning.  When I have questions about grades I do not hesitate to ask.  All of these things have helped me learn better.

What aspects of the skill do you want/need to improve on some more?
I need to improve on learning in many more areas.  Although I have improved on learning in many subjects this year, there is still more improvement to be made.  Even though I have learned how to take more precautions when expressing my emotions, I know I can make more improvement.  This gets in the way of many things in school.  It can prevent me from talking to teachers if I have a question.  I think once I master the skill of controlling my emotions, my learning in classes will improve.

How do you see the skill affecting your future?
Whether learning in school or other aspects in life, learning can affect my future in a huge way.  If I go to a large college then I will have to learn how to pay attention better.  The college that I go to can decide if I get a good job or not.  It can also effect my learning in day to day life.
