high school. Kinaesthetic learning is important when to have in school to

You will have a lot of success when it comes to using more hands-on strategies because it really help you get the information and experience you need for careers you want to enter.
Intrapersonal learning is when you reflect on things independently without the thoughts of others being drilled into you your thoughts; this way you can learn more about yourself and trust your own
intuition to help yourself. Intrapersonal learning strategies help the most when you are forced
into situations of isolation or independence. Intrapersonal learning is mostly independent
and very calm, there aren’t many people who are around you and you don’t really experience
any social interactions. This strategy is important for people who are insecure and need some time
before they can really feel comfortable in a social interacting atmosphere. You can achieve
success when using this strategy because you learn how to work alone and learn more about yourself.
Personal management skills are important in achieving success in high school
because if you are not organized how will you find your work in the future. Organization is when you have sorted all of your belongings in a way which you can easily find without having to look
for a long period of time. Organization reflects on the order you do things assigned to you; how do you manage
time, set goals, make improvements. Organization is important in high school
because if you have zero time management you will not be able to finish your work, you
will be in a lot of stress and the work you submit will probably be very satisfactory. In
school you are given many notes and assignment that are important to keep for your
exams at the end of each semester; if you don’t organize these things or finish them then
how will you find them in the future? Tips that can be very effective for organization; if your were to
buy yourself some dividers or even separate binders for each class you can organize all your papers easily. Just remember to actually use the dividers or binders, putting things in them can be just as important. A way you can manage your time is by finishing all of your assignments earlier so you can focus
on other things and have the burden taken off your back as well.
Another very important personal management skill is independent studies; this skill
is very important in high school because you also have to have the ability to work
by yourself and it is sometimes necessary that you don’t rely on others to
complete some tasks. Independent work is when you accomplish things in
everyday life by yourself without the assistance from others, you follow and complete the tasks
that are given to you independently and you can use your time effectively without
being distracted by others. It is important to be independent in high school because
it gives you the opportunity to figure out things about yourself, your strengths and
weaknesses and if you are always around people you don’t really get to experience this.
One way you can have success in this skill is when you have a test in class you will have
to be independent; you must try to focus and use your time effectively.
One learning barrier that I experienced in grade 9 is that I was very shy and unsocial; I couldn’t really speak to anyone who was unfamiliar. One way I learned how to cope with this learning barrier was that I tried to talking with an old friend who I knew really well and asked her to help me write out something I could say when I meet these new people in school. As I went on with the school year and met more and more people I started to loosen up and felt more comfortable. I didn’t need her advice anymore and managed to get over my fear. I think that the queue cards really helped me because I would have felt embarrassed if she had gone around introducing me to everyone herself.
