GETTING READY TO LEARN
We as a students
we need to be aware that we are entering a universe where we need to be wise in
managing our affairs whether it is good or not. At university we need to be
more responsible and positive students in completing our routines correctly. We
can't be childish. In university life, there is no family, mother and father to
watch over and oversee everything we do. So lets take our breath and lets ready to enter univerity life. We need to remember why we came to this university.
HIGH SCHOOL VS UNIVERSITY
Making the moves from being in school is not an easy task. Student need to
make new friends at the new place. Student also need to stay in hostel for
semester 1 and part with the family. There also many new things student need to
know and adapt with the university life.

MY LEARNING STYLE.
I learnt learning style in my second week of interim. So I prefer to use auditory and kinesthetic in my learning but I more to visual style
.This is a few of skills I do in my learning. There are :
- I prefer watching video to reading
- I prefer watching somenone perform a skill or a task before i actually try it
- I need to take time to understand what lecturer said
- I can imagine myself doing something before I actually do it
- I use phrases like " I hear you " or " that sounds good "
- Reading aloud help me remember
