Double A

Last Friday, Mr. Whiting and Ms. Narsiman came to visit my Humanities class. We had to take some tests to see which learning profile we were, we needed to see which part of our body was dominent. My right ear and hand is dominent, my left leg, eye and side of my brain is dominent. The left side of the brain is the Logic side, while the right side of the brain is Gestalt. My profile is AA.

I learn best when everything is peaceful, maybe even some classical music playing at low volume. When people start talking, I can block it out. I can block out the TV, the piano, and various noises. Although I do like to have it quiet so I don't have to focus on blocking things out. When people tap their fingers on tables, I get quite aggravated, but don't say anything. When I'm thinking I have that drift of into space look. The teachers think I'm not focusing, but really, I'm thinking.

I need things to be neat and orderly. I need to have a lesson planned out, I need to have step by step instructions. I feel very uneasy and stressful when I don't have the exact, precise orders. I can't quite see the big picture, but what I do know is that if I follow everything on the list I am bound to get it correct.

What helps me to learn, is basically to calm down. I can calm down most efficiantly by doing Lazy 8's. All of those other exercises don't help me much, soccer and ballet are supposed to help me, and I used to take both subjects. Sometimes I just need to rest for a bit, I like curling up on the couch with some Harry Potter books to read, that really relaxes me.

What I want my teachers to know about me is that them constantly asking me to look at them is quite annoying. I don't like always looking at the teachers, I like to hear it rather than see it, and I also like writing things out. When I'm stressed I can usually calm myself down, seeing as dominent things are equally spread out. But if I am stressed, the worst thing somebody could do to me is..... SPEAK TO ME.
