My Learning Style

A few subjects I found challenging during my highschool were mathematics and physics. Physics had more theoretical aspects of it than the practical, and what we were left with was the terms which did little or no explanation of the subject being taught and mathematics had a lot of theorems. I found it hard to comprehend theoretical teachings with no practical examples. A Topic I had been struggling to understand for months became easy to comprehend the moment a practical example was applied and I wondered if all the grammar being spoken was just for something as easy as that. I learn faster when practical examples are applied, it helps me think wide and I tend to retain the detail for a long time.

So whenever I'm in a position to teach, I often believe everyone has my style of learning. I apply more practicals than the theories, and sometimes give illustrations with real-world objects with the hope to pass the message across the same way it becomes easy for me. In points where no illustration was provided, I created one to help those who had the same style of learning as me.

After college, my most pressing desire has been ways to create wealth, learning is no longer as important as it was during highschool and college . But one way I keep my brain active is through reading books. It goes with my style of learning, with a lot of illustrations and practical examples to back up their belief and principles. What never gets old is learning, and the only practical way to do that after college is either through reading or in a case where our work requires learning on-the-job.

Let's say, the brain has no rest and my preferred learning style goes with practical and illustrative teaching. In scenarios where it's theoretical, I sketch the words, mapping them out until I get the message.
