Back to Kura!!!

The Maori Media & language Course at M.I.T started strong at the starting of the year
Awesome Powhiri, awesome kai afterwards, full Class, great teacher alot of Smiles every where
you looked.
A couple of weeks later i noticed more & more students dropping out of class. We saw how much of a Blabber mouth our teacher was, & how there were no more smiles around the class room. Instead there were searious faces working hard to complete there assignments before the due date...

Well that was last Semester. And now there are 11 talented & hard working students left, going hard for what they believe in.

I now realise that graduation is approaching nearer every day. And i dont want to walk up to that stage to recieve my Certificate & think to myself... "Did i make the most of it? Could i have worked abit harder?"

I've learnt alot more then i ever knew about 'The Treaty of Waitangi', 'Te Reo Maori' & our history...etc....etc....

One of my learning Methods is Evaluation. To do so i like to research ptions, i like to compare notes with other people in my class & i also like to talk about it! I find when i do this the subject seems to make more sence to me.

I like to reconfirm with my teacher that what ive just heard is correct. And like to ask questions which is a form of reconfirming... I may go out of my way to research information, So you see that im generally a perfectionist, therefore very positive, & very keen to get the job done.

But First & foremost my most primary skill is my Reo Maori. Im good with Computers which is helpfull when we get assignments that must be completed on Computer. I enjoy writting, & have no fear talking to strangers.
My learning style is that i am audio & visual. But it would be good to try options of kinesthetic or tactile.

I think knowing your strengths & Weaknesses in how you learn is a big thing. Because then you know your limits to learning. If you are confident in yourself when it comes to work tasks go hard but always go over it again, & make it just as better as the first draft you did. There are no limits when it comes to doing better & greater things. And if you struggle abit, dont hessitate to ask anyone for help...

Kiaora, Noho Ora Mai...
