As I progress through my educational career, I will hopefully become a successful doctor. I know that I will have a lot of reading, and studying to do. As I become a practicing doctor, there will be hands on activities. In a way that matches my style of learning, kinesthetic and visual.

In high school, I was a good student but I had to take a literacy class similar like LLED. I've had similar courses over the years, but it has never really helped much. When I came into this class I thought it was going to be like the other reading classes I've had. I was wrong. LLED has helped me a lot by understanding and gaining knowledge about literacy. I have assimilated and accommodate new information into my existing schema. The way this course was taught, it has helped me view reading in a different perspective. Since I'm a visual and kinesthetic learner, this class has been helpful because we've done a lot motions and tried different strategies. I came into this class not having a positive view on the way I read but that has changed. I am actually beginning to love reading. Now every time I read, I will apply the strategies we learned in class.

During this semester, I have done extremely well with my academics. First of all, I always try to create a quite environment because that's how I focus. I have become successful because I've read and studied by flirting, driving, and relaxing. I've also asked for help with subjects I don't understand. Another technique that I've used is trying to relate to the information to make it meaningful and applying it. In addition, I stop when I'm confused because if I proceed I will not understand the topic. These steps have helped me achieve my goals.

I won't forget this class because it has changed me in a positive way!
