I am constantly moving and changing my body positions. Eating breakfast gives me the energy I need to learn. I am a sequential learner. I learn more when my teacher lets me be creative with assignments in stead of having to do the same thing everyone else does. I need to see the big picture before I can understand something. I am more motivated to do a good job if it affects others grades instead of just my own. I make quick decisions. I get tired after lunch. I tend to think long and hard before making a decision. I like when my teacher changes the schedule around. I have a hard time concentrating when it is silent. I think it is important to make my parents proud. I get better grades when I am able to work with a friend and or learning team. I work best after lunch. I study best when it is quiet. I push myself to get good grades.
