What are your "best" subjects?Graphic Communication
What subjects are difficult for you?Eng III, Alg II
What are your favorite games or sports?I\'m actually not really interested in sports, but I do like badminton and swimming.
If you could learn about anything you wanted to, what would you choose to learn about? Be specific. (For example: science-fiction writing, meteorology, architecture, Shakespeare, Africa.)I wish I could learn about how to live like an adult. For example, I would like to learn about how to get a job, how to buy an apartment/house, how to pay bills and taxes, how to keep track of bills and taxes, etc...
What are three things you like to do when you have free time (besides seeing friends)?I love to run around while listening to music, I love to collect items relating to my interests, and I love to watch my favorite TVshows/movies.
What clubs, groups, teams, or organizations do you belong to? Include both school activities and those not Sponsored by the school.
Have you ever taught yourself to do something without the help of another person? If so, what?I actually can\'t remember, because I needed help most of the time when doing something new.
If you were going to start a book club, what kinds of books would your club read?My club would be reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Stephen King books, comics, graphic novels, and guidebooks about video games, movies or whatever that person\'s interested in.
If people were to come to you for information about something you know a lot about, what would the topic be?The topics would be about horror movies, FNaF, Spongebob, and/or Creepypasta because I know a lot about all those things.
If you could plan a field trip for learning, where would you go?I would try to plan a field trip to Hollywood in California so I could teach and show people movie studios and also help them learn about making movies.
When you’re using the computer, are you usually playing games, doing homework, doing research, visiting Web sites, visiting chat rooms, shopping, exchanging email, programming, or some other activity?I usually use the computer for lots of different things, including homework, video games, Youtube, and looking up images of my interests on Google. I also use the computer to read Wattpad stories, read Reddit stories, and email my teachers about help or work I need to do.
If you could interview an expert on any subject, what subject would you like to talk to someone about?I could be an expert on Graphic Communications, because I mostly know a lot about drawing.
What careers are you currently interested in?I\'m really interested into becoming an actress and movie director. I\'m also starting to get interested in graphic arts.
What helps you learn? (For example, a hands-on activity, reading, taking notes, or reading out loud.)First off, I\'m a mix between learning better by myself, or when I\'m working with others. Also, I learn more when something is a hands-on activity, when images and guides are there to help, and when teachers explain everything clearly.
What makes learning more difficult for you? (For example, lectures, lots of writing.)Overly long lectures without clearness and images, along with the teachers going too fast makes it more difficult for me to learn.
Think of a great teacher you’ve had. Describe what made this teacher so terrific.My 10th grade ELA teacher in my old high school was my favorite. She was always very clear and never went too fast, and also gave my extra help when I needed it.
What else would you like me to know about you as a learner?I have a very mild case of Autism, so I may need extra help and may ask a ton of questions. I also may need some guided and clear steps when learning.
