Growing up I remember being told in the 3rd grade that i would be in sld (slow learning disabilities) class for a few hours out the week but not full time. I never felt slow or that i couldn't do anything that the the other kids were doing. I just wasn't that interested. My mind wandered a lot about many things. Real things, make believe, my imagination would run WILD on the daily. Which made new realise everybody learns different. I hear people talking a lot about different learning types. But I think there are two different learning types. I feel like people are all cut from all kinds of different cloth and what may work for some may not work for the next but I feel like there are two different learning types. And the first learning type is that the story about how an eagle mom teaching her child how to fly. The momma will push her baby out the nest and let her baby fall till she's about to crash into the ground, she then saves her baby and then they practice over and over and over and over and over and over until the bird gets the gist and the idea of how to work their wings. Then you have this other way which there's a saying that goes you can bring the donkey to the water but you can't make it drink. And what I take on this thing is that you can teach somebody whatever but you can make them use those things that you talk to it kind of reminds me of the saying if you give a man a fish then that's good but if you teach a man how to fish he will be set for life. So that's how I feel about learning processes . I feel like some people you can tell them hey this is what you have to do and then boom they can practice and practice and practice it and then get it on their own eventually no the other learning type you have to continually be there got them Mentor them and make sure that they understand it because they're more Hands-On . I feel like my learning type out of those two would be to teach me how to fish because all throughout my life I feel like when it came to learning stuff yeah the teacher to me but the only way I really learned is if it was more on a personal level and not to a whole class. So I wish that I had a mentor and I think that's what I want to be is a mentor to children to help them if they're struggling in school to see what it is that they can find a way so that they can accomplish their goals if they want to get their grades up and stuff like that. Kids should know that just because somebody wants something bigger than them does not mean that they're not as smart and they just learn differently just like I did. so I'm just talking right now. But these are things that I want to look back on in the future. Just my thoughts.....
