I would like you to reflect on a skill or concept that you found challenging to learn. How did you help yourself learn that concept? Did you seek help from other people or resources? Who or what were they? Do you find learning new things to be exciting, stressful, overwhelming, or something else?


A skill or concept that has been most difficult for me to process is self-teaching. I am unable to read a book or an assignment and be able to understand a concept completely. When given an assignment where I am required to do the reading and learn the subject on my own I look to the help of my peers. By talking over a concept it becomes easier for me to process and learn. I would seek the help of peers to ask questions of the topic, peers can be quite helpful when it comes to learning something new. I find that learning something new can be both exciting and overwhelming. I believe that it is important to challenge yourself. 


I have quite a bit of experience with creating portfolios. In high school teachers stressed that we would need to know how to create a portfolio for college and professional requirements. I however do not have any experience with creating an online portfolio. I prefer to have paper to hold onto when creating a portfolio.
