'I learn best when by focusing on the details.Processes by analysis,verbalization, and writing'. I really agree with this quote because for me to understand all the important things by enjoying and focusing on the details. Also, I prefers structured learning and appreciates orderly sequencing of information. This connects to me because in order for me to get good grades, I need to know the instruction orderly.

But, I need to improve on to connect to information emotionally or kinesthetically. This really connects to me because I need to emotionally interact with my peers. For me to improve on my education, I need to be positive and have enjoyable sensory motor experiences.

During stress I may have problem seeing the big picture, so strategies that would help me in my learning is that I'm able to pick up details of information through the eyes and ears even under stress. Also, I need everything to be planned out for me(plan it before act). If I'm under stress, I can't get my gestalt hemisphere to work.

I would like my teachers to know that I am both an auditory and visual learner. My biggest challenge for me is to have access to my right brain easily. Because of my dominant hand, eye foot are all opposite the logical hemisphere.

How can Da Vinci be characterized as a true Renaissance Man?

I think Da Vinci be characterized as a true Renaissance Man because his ideas for everything was and reborn from the Rome. Also, his way of thinking is very extraordinary and mystic. For example,he drew the Mona Lisa's smile. The smile is very different because you can't really tell by the smile if she is happy or sad. On the other hand, he was characterized as a true Renaissance because he think outside the Roman Catholic Church. Besides that, he was an inventor who made a military canon which is very useful in war. Also he was very known as a scientist because he sculpted the foetus of a actual women. Adding to that, he was a very famous inventor by his bicycle, helicopter, an "auto-mobile", and some gruesome weapons.

Brunelleschi's Virtuosity

I believe most prompted Brunelleschi to succeed in the construction of his masterpiece is virtuosity. Using creative leadership, Brunelleschi showed many of the famous architectures and the magistrate his designs of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. He was able to accomplish by his technical skill, fluency and Creativity. Also, he found a way to not let the rain water leak from the roof. Besides that, he discovered a skill that doesn’t allow the dome to fall in the inside of the dome. In order to construct the dome, he was able to think something no one else had ever done before, and to redefine architecture and engineering of Roman Empire. He was also gifted with special knowledge of or interest in art and architecture. The actions and decisions of people effect change greatly, take a look at Brunelleschi’s dome. If money had not been provide to Brunelleschi, the dome will never be standing. Also, Florence will not be same as today. “In the beginners mind there are many possibilities, but in the experts mind there are few.” Suzuki Shunryu. She says that new ideas come from your basic knowledge.

Where do new ideas come from?

For me, new ideas come from imagination. Because imagination allows you to think of new ideas. All the famous invention came form inventors. Thomas Edison who wanted a new source of energy instead of fire. Then, he invented electricity to made everyone's life better. Also, the Wright brothers wanted a transportation that is faster than train and cars. So, they wanted invented airplane. In conclusion, I think new ideas come form everyone's imagination.

My favorite short story

In the short stories unit, I have read 3 stories, The Sniper, Lamb to the slaughter and Thank you ma'am. The stories are all good. But, my favorite short stories is Lamb to the slaughter. Because of the interesting plot. Also, I love how Mary Maloney calculates the whole crime scene. Besides that, my favorite part of the story is when she feed the lamb to the police.

MY NAME (Chung Yoo Joon)

Many names have their own different meanings. I would like to explain about the meaning behind my name especially my first name. My full name is Chung Yoo Joon. I'm coming from South Korea. My first name is 'Chung'. In South Korea, the first name does not have any meaning as it is used generally among Koreans. However, my second and third name their own meaning. My second name which is 'Yoo' means "I have everything which is good". My last name which is ‘Joon’ represents my character that is “high, tall and mighty”. I like my name very much because of the good meaning which is represented behind my name. At one point of time, I wanted to change my name. I remember when I was five years old, I want to change my name to ‘Shin Chan’. He is one of the famous Japanese comic characters because he is funny and a trouble maker to everyone. Nobody has ever teased my first name because most of my Korean friends have the same surname as me. However, my friends always make fun of the rest of my name. They would give names such as “You Jun” as “Yoo” has the same pronunciation as the English Pronouns “you”. Apart from that, I have another friend whose name is called “Jun”. My last name which is “Joon” has the same pronunciation as “Jun”. My friend would also tease my name such as “Yoo Chun” which is very funny because “Chun” in Cantonese language means stupid and dumb. I don’t have a nickname because most of the time, both my family and friends would like to call me as Yoo Joon. I have two names such as Yoo Joon and Yoo Sung. The last name Sung means intelligent and smart. Since my father wanted me to grow healthily and free from all sicknesses, he prefer me to be called Yoo Joon instead of Yoo Sung. This is all about my name.

The journey of my book (Theseus)

The book that I'm reading is called Theseus. I will tell you about the story. Theseus is the son of king Aegeus. King Aegeus is the king of Athens. This is how Theseus was born. King Aegeus wanted a son. He wanted a son to be his heir. So he went to find Oracle. He asked Oracle would I have a son. Oracle said go find the sorceress Medea in Corinth and she will give you the magic power. When he find her, she gave him the magic and said, " When next time you hold a woman in your arms, she will bear you a son," He thanked her. It is a long journey from Corinth to Athens. So he spent a night in his old friend's house in the village of Troezen. When he was talking to his old friend he accidentally touched a women called Aethra. So Aethra bore Theseus. When Theseus was 16, he killed Periphetes the bronze club man. When Aethra saw his actions, she gave him a sword and a pair of sandals. She said go find your father in Athens. So on his journey he also killed the Crommyonian boar. He finally arrived to Athens and met his father. In Athens, he also killed the blue cow that is the pet of Poseidon. So Athens is in cursed now.
