Hello Everyone! If you are reading this, then you are probably trying to figure out who I am. As a person, I am an animal lover. There’s a definite fact, and that’s why I am pursuing a major in Zoology, and am also going into Pre-Vet Medicine. I’ve had many pets, including fish, rats, cats, and dogs. I’ve even taken care of a few Purple Martin fledglings in my backyard in Texas, my previous home to here. I am also a huge band fan. I’ve been playing percussion, the drums, since I was in fourth grade and managed to make it to the position of the Head Percussion leader my senior year of high school, and I don’t plan on stopping while here at Ohio State. For now, I’m joining the athletic band, where I look forward to watching hockey games that I so miss watching when I was in Alaska and New York. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to march with our marching band though, as I’ve admired them since the moment I discovered them in high school. Now, you may have noticed that I mentioned many states above, and that’s because I’m a military child, so I’ve lived in many places, including Virginia and Hawaii. Because of this, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to find and keep friends, but I try my best with what’s given to me. I’m also fairly shy, and prefer to listen to others rather than talk myself, and I sometimes have trouble hearing and saying things correctly.
As a learner, I prefer hands-on learning. I can’t do just listening, because all the words mix together in my head and I end up forgetting things, and I have trouble with just visual as I get easily distracted or may not understand something and have difficulty expressing what I find to be confusing. If I had to choose one over the other, I’d choose visual learning, but incorporating both or allowing me to physically work with something helps me immensely. I also tend to work well with a little white noise, but if it gets too loud, then I can’t focus well. I can also work well alone or in groups, depending on the assignment.
That’s all I can think of for now, but I will update this whenever a new thought comes to mind. So hopefully you learned something about me and found this to be helpful!
Until next time,
