Getting to Know You It takes time to learn about anything important – especially if it’s about you. There are many aspects of yourself that you may never know about until they are clearly emphasized and broadcasted. Learning about yourself can be challenging at times, when you aren’t able to see what truly defines you as a person. It takes quite a bit of time and experience to fully grasp the concept of who you are and what you can become, and it is a humbling experience. In our first unit of GLD, the many experiences we had with learning about ourselves helped me to learn about myself a little bit more – the multiple intelligences, learning styles, finding our niche through resources like Career Cruising and many more other things. Early on in the unit, we learned about the different intelligences there were. One did not only have to be academically intelligent, they could excel in several different arrays, such as being musically intelligence. When I did the test to find out what smart I was, I was surprised to find out that I was intelligent in all the different types – except the naturalistic and logical/mathematical intelligences. This was no coincidence, as I never really thought of myself as an “outdoorsy” person and I detest numbers and calculations. However, this exercise did help me out figure out that I was a little smart, not just academically but bodily, visually, intrapersonally, verbally, interpersonally, and musically. It was a riveting task to complete. When we learned about the different types of learning styles, however, I was quite interested by how we learn. The fact that there was more than one way to learn intrigued and I eventually learned that I am a bit of everything – I learn visually, auditorily, and kinaesthetictically. Then I think about how teachers must feel when they must take care of these aspects of teaching every single day and it’s great to know that everyone then can
