This whole on-line learning thing has really thrown me for am loop.  One thing that I have definitely learned is that I am a hot mess.  But another thing that I have learned after interacting with my peers is that is ok.  It’s ok for me to learn things differently and that I shouldn’t be ashamed of that.  That really is valuable, not only to my sanity but to my confidence as well.  Over the last few weeks I have spent a great deal of time learning my strengths and challenges.  My greatest strengths are that I am committed, I am organized and that I welcome change.  My biggest challenges are getting distracted while being on the computer……oooh look facebook….and that I have a hard time with the way most material is presented in an on-line classroom.  I learned that I have a multimodal learning method which really upset me at first because I thought it meant that I should be able to “get” the material no matter how it is presented to me.  So I was like, what on Earth is wrong with me.  But after spending a little more time with it, I realize that multimodal means that I learn best when the material is presented to me in different formats.  Telling it to me really doesn’t help; neither does just reading about it.  I need visuals and hands on tools which I know, going forward, will be my biggest challenge.  But I am determined to not let it get the best of me!  I really do want to succeed!  And I will not be held back by whatever learning disabilities seem to be plaguing me.  I gots this!
