QuestionsResponses
What is your favorite activity or subject in school?History
What is your least favorite subject in school?Math
What are your "best" subjects?English and History
What subjects are difficult for you?Math
What are your favorite games or sports?I love contact sports, like wrestling and football, if i could go back to when I was younger i would have chosen football over cheerleading. My other favorite is cheerleading and some people say that cheerleading isnt a sport but i could argue that forever. I started cheer when i was 3 because my older sisters where on the team and I got a head start, but due to my home schools inability to provide the necessary education to me, I was ineligible to cheer this year and it might not sound like a big deal but it was all i had, cheer was my escape from everything bad that ever happened to me.
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.)How to be a better person, I struggle alot with my anger and i take it out on people who dont deserve it and when im upset about something I dont like talking about it which then makes me lash out on people and i hate hurting people, I was bullied a lot when i was younger and when people come into my life i shut them out so i dont end up being hurt again, it makes me so happy when im nice to people even when there not nice back, i always try to smile and make sure everyone is happy.
What are three things you like to do when you have free time (besides seeing friends)?I love being outside in the peace and quiet, it makes me feel safe. i also have a passion for singing and playing my guitar which ive been doing since i was little,and lastly I love hanging out with my boyfriend and his family because i feel like i have a home when im with them.
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?growing up i had to teach myself how take care of myself and pretty much survive on my own, i didnt have a mom to teach me how to do all the girly stuff and my dad always tried to help but he didnt really know about that stuff.
If you were going to start a book club, what kinds of books would your club read?I dont really read books but when i do its the Bible.
If people were to come to you for information about something you know a lot about, what would the topic be?alot of people have came to me about advice with divorced parents and its kind of sad but at the same time i enjoy being able to help people because it gets my mind of of the things that go on.
If you could plan a field trip for learning, where would you go?I would go Nashville and learn about all the country singers and all the historical events.
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 like writing, sometimes i just get bored and just write and all the feelings just pour out of me
If you could interview an expert on any subject, what subject would you like to talk to someone about?i would definitely ask how love was a long time ago, its strange but i enjoy hearing old love stories so they would have to be educated on how society was back in the day.
What careers are you currently interested in?mechanics and welding but i also want to be an equestrian veterinarian
What helps you learn? (For example, a hands-on activity, reading, taking notes, or reading out loud.)hands on has always been a big help for me because of my adhd its harder for me to focus but i also dont want to use my adhd as a crutch
What makes learning more difficult for you? (For example, lectures, lots of writing.)Its hard for me to learn when we arent doing anything, im not a really big fan of sitting and listening to a lecture for the entire class.
Think of a great teacher you’ve had. Describe what made this teacher so terrific.My sophmore english teacher was the best teacher, She made it easy for me to understand things and if i didnt understand something she would find a way to explain it in a way i could understand even if it took 10 tries, she always pushed me to do good and not like most people would expect, she challeneged me in ways she knew I could do things and didnt do it a rude way and she never called me out in front of anyone if i didnt do something correctly.
What else would you like me to know about you as a learner?if something interests me i will get hyperfixated on it really easily but if it doesnt interest me its harder for me to learn about it and focus
In school, I prefer to work:In a Small Group
In school, I learn best:Alone
