I did the VARK questionaire on the lesson. The results showed that I have a multimodal style. I enclosed a link to show what this type means. I agree with those results as I am a kind of person that like to learn in many various ways. I like when somebody explains me what and how should I do my tasks, but at the same time I like to try by myself and get to the point. I also learn by reading and asking questions. I like drawing and ofter make graphs or mind maps because I find it easy to practice and remember thinghs. When I have to make a speach or learn a great amount of material it's the best way to make a diagram and put just bullet points and then practice them. When somebody ask me for help I would rather explain using pictures, body language or do it myself.
I can also say that I am quite much of the physical(bodily kinesthetic) learning style because as the description shows I like to use my body language when explaining and also if I learn something new I want to use it as soon as I can.
I can also find some logical(mathematical) attempts. I am good at numbers and I try to explain everything in a logical way, even if there's no proper explanation:)
A social(interpersonal) way of tackling the problem isn't new for me . I like talk about the tasks after lessons or having one-to-one meetings with the teaachers who can explain all my questions and help tyo solve the problems. But at the same time I like to stay sometimes at home and think over what and how I want to do things.
My personality is very complex , which reflects in my learning style. I am creative with many different ideas. Always looking forrward to do new things.:)

Strengths and weaknesses
And one more nice exercise about our strengths and weaknesses... this is always very difficult for me to point at my strong and weak sides and I think this task has opened me a little bit. I could think of the areas that I am good at and how can I use it in my life. But also has pointed at my weaknesses that I have to deal with to develop and improve. Knowing my strengths and weaknesses is important because I can show to my potential employer what I am good at and what I have to learn more. They can imagine me in the position and say if I will be suitable or not.
At this session we also had to talk about our outside activities, which was a nice piece of work because I could say what really like doing, what I am interested in and what makes me happy. I am very social person and being with people makes world to me . That's why I am involved in my church group where we can be for each other helping others. Lately we have organised a charity concert for a little girl to raise the money for her treatment. Talking about this make me proud and feel better that I am here not for myself but also for others.
My other hobbies like reading or listening to music improve my imagination and creative skills.
In my opinion it is very important to talk and be aware of ours hobbies because everything could be useful in the life. All of those activities say something about the person, e.g. church meeting- team working, being for others.

Job experience
The next task was to acknowledge our background job experience. We were asked to list our positions and main skills that we have learnt doing that.
Those exercisers are very helpful because at the end of each task we the question 'how could it help us in the future life ' is asked, what makes us to thing about that what we want to do and what can help us to achieve our aim.
At the moment I don't have much experience in the strictly business field but I know what I have to try to achieve now and where to put my next step towards my future career. It may be just listing the jobs that I have done in the past but every experience counts and after each position , more or less demanding I have learnt more and my knowledge grows. I this this is very good to think about our job experience from time to time because I can do something more, try a new things or improve my old skills.

My qualifications
The next session prepared us to talk about our qualifications and courses that we have done in the past. What could help us in our future life and work and also what could be helpful to develop ourselves.
It was a simple list of our qualifications but it showed in what areas we have something to say and what more should we do. The list of qualification will be useful in creating my CV. Without a list I will not pay an attention to things that I have already done and achieved. It's easier for me to understand who I am and what I have already done when I write everything down.

E-portfolio
At the very first lesson we also downloaded our e-portfolio where all our work will be stored.
At every session I will do my tasks and attached it to my portfolio so all my work can be in one place. Whenever I need this I can just use my own work stored together without looking for it in many different places. It is very handy.

The first tasksheet
I would like to give my reflective statement about what we have done so far.
At the very first lessons we have done some tasksheets regarding our future life and school. The first exercise was talking about our skills whether we feel good or bad at certain tasks and problems. The exercise asked us to point at the sections that we think should be improved as a very first. According to me one of my weakest points is ability to search the internet fast and to transfer information forming and answering questions and choosing the most appropriate material to do so.
I think my ability to deal with tasks is quite good and I don't have many problems to work under the pressure or as a team member however I don't feel a great confidence when I have to appear in front of the group.
I also think that my negotiation skills need to be improved.
This task was helpful as it shows me which areas I have to focus on and what to improve to be a better student and person.
