The VARK Questionnaire Results




The VARK Questionnaire Results
Your scores were:
  • Visual: 6
  • Aural: 8
  • Read/Write: 5
  • Kinesthetic: 5
You have a multimodal (VARK) learning preference



  • which style of learning is your least favourite?


             I think is Read/write.
  • what techniques could you practice to help to enhance this learning style?


         May be I will go to the  library and keep the book in front of me and start reading something even if I'm not interested, there might be a time I'll get some kind of interest.

Swot analysis

SWOT Analysis

learning line

s

Reflecting back on my learning experience I realised some certain issues. If you looked at my learning line you will observe that I changed from one school to another, not because I was expelled from the school but because my Dad wanted the best for me. It might surprise you for me to say that the  changing of schools affected my study and my performance in class I would have preferred going to the same secondary school, but Daddy wants the best for his son.
Concerning my achievement and experience, I will like to start from my secondary schools days. I got my WAEC result, during my stay in secondary school I was given responsibilities. These responsibilities made me to be able to handle situations even when there is pressure. I was able to handle people when I was involved in church activities, which made me to discover that there are different people with different mindset. I was able to gain experience when I worked in my Dad’s company as an assistant financial admin manager, the job was just to get money from the bank and pay workers. One thing I really enjoyed doing was playing football.
The negative event that happened was when I dropped out of Polytechnic, I just stopped going for no reason, I think if I had continued I would have gained more experience probably a degree. My capacity to learn has to do with visualising and trying to practise what I have learnt.

My life as a christian

I became a christian since I was a child; because my parents were Christians. In the past years I discovered that as long as you go the house of God (i.e the church) you are a christian. At this period in my christian life I was involved with activities in church. I was in the children's choir and I always find myself doing something in the house of God, because of these activities people were more convinced I was a child of God which I was anyways.
After a couple of years I went to a Secondary boarding school named Bishop Crowder in Nigeria. I am not going to tell you everything that happened in the school where I was bullied by my seniors in school; I'm concentrating on my christian life. During my stay in this school I met a senior called Raphael, he was the chapel prefect in school at that time. This guy made me realise that going to church and becoming involved with activities does not mean I was born again or I was going to make heaven. People in the bible were called Christians because they were followers of Jesus, they did the things he did. I looked back and asked myself questions like 'are you going to church because your parents are Christians or you saw others doing it? , 'do you even know who you serve?' I realised then that I did not really know who I was following,
I did it because I was brought up that way, so I decided to know this God. I was taught about the Holy spirit and his personalities, from that time I started going to church because I love God and I wanted to know him not because my Dad and Mom were going to church.
Now I know what it means to be a Christian, at that time, I was a christian without a purpose but now with a purpose. I'm not saying when you become a christian everything becomes perfect no, there are things you go through but you always find peace and the rest of mind. I'm not saying I'm holy or something; I'm saying since I knew this God he has made things easy for me. I remember when I was in secondary school I was not the best, I'm not even that book person, whenever I want to read I pray to God to enlighten the eyes of my understanding and give me direction,  after praying I understand what I read and when I sit for my exam  I get a good grade. I see people putting more effort in reading and not getting the result they want. Right now I'm in my first year in Anglia Ruskin university doing mechanical engineering course. Sometimes people ask me what course are you doing and when I tell them mechanical engineering they say you must be intelligent, then I say within me they don't know. Since I decided to know God  and I'm still discovering new things about him I don't struggle to do things if I get him involved.

Funny me

 cold-hams lane just playing around with my friends.


I remember that day, this was the period Nigeria lost against Argentina. We  had a picnic that same day; as you can see in the video people are having fun. This picnic helped the church to know themselves more.

youth dancing (RCCG GOD)



This is actually a video my friend Isaac recorded himself. I went for a choir rehearsal then I saw a group dancing and I decided to join the dance.

How I feel about today's game



First of all, I am going to tell you what I did before the game. Let me tell you a little something about myself. My name is Samuel David and I am an Arsenal fan. Sometimes, I wonder how I became an arsenal fan; looking back at what happened in the past I should have left this club, because I remember a season arsenal almost gave me a heart attack. This wonderful club led the premeir league up to half of the season and still ended of in fourth position about two seasons ago, I'm sure I am not the only arsenal fan that was humiliated that season or say disappointed. I love this club so much, but I think it is time for them to give something back to the fans.
before the game
After the night vigil in church, I had to go to a friend's place to spend the night. I woke up about nine o'clock in the morning, then later on took a shower.My friend's girlfriend had made something for break fast; all I had to do was to go the the dinning table to eat, which I did. At that point into time I was so eager deep down to watch the arsenal watch; I said to myself no appointment is going to prevent me from watching the arsenal match. Anyways, I had to go to a mall to get cloths I'll wear for service the next day; as I was looking out for what I was to wear on Sunday, I realised that Chelsea lost against Manchester city, then I said yes this is an opportunity for arsenal to take advantage of, but I did not know what was yet to happen.
     
how I feel about the game as an arsenal fan

Honestly, after watching the first half of Arsenal vs West brom I knew we were lucky not to have conceived, I was thinking that this was an opportunity for arsenal to learn from the first half. suddenly, ten minutes to the beginning it was 2 nil against arsenal, although  having learnt from the past experince, I was still hurt; I ask myself what reason is the club going to give for losing this time 'that they have injury problems? '.

If they continue to play like this I don't think they'll have a chance to win against Chelsea next weekend. If they want to win something for the fans they can't do it this way, I mean there should be commitment among this players. Today I think the defence was not consistent, they lost touch of the game at some point.

WHAT A DAY

I woke up this morning thinking about having another go at sleeping again only to find out that it is almost time for lecture. Anyways I was so angry, but I had to  take a shower and get dressed because if I don't go for lectures I will be numbering the number of days I will stay in this country.After puting on my cloths I went  out to find out that the weather was cold for me, since I am an International student I am still geting used to the weather here. when I got to thelecture hall I found out that people were already there, but not the lecturer and there was a little problem at that moment there was no chair for me to sit on, so I had to stand until I had an Idea to go to another lecture room to look for a chair to sit on. Suddenly the lecturer came in and  saw some students standing: he said we can't learn in this class at least not like this, so we had to move to another room for lecuture. After the attendance and other things the lecturer had to test our  memory and capacity about the things we ought to know. There was a particular question he asked in class I did not know the answer; the lecturer just calls someone randomly to answer a question, when he asked the question deep down I knew I did not know the answer, so I  was kind of saying in my mind 'please to God  do not let this man to call me' which he did not call me, some one answered the question.
After the lecture I went to my room to have a rest, then suddenly a freind called me and said that I had to go for a night vigil in Cambridge. I did not plan for something like that, but that is part of my responsibility , so I'll be going to Cambridge tonight for a night vigil. lest I forget; I got a message from my  brother that he will be coming to the Uk on the 3 of October I thank God for that.
I'm just trying to get use to this kind of stuff I was introduced to, thank you for reading........... even if it did not make sense to you.
