Essay; My work and study habits vary completely on the situation. For example when under pressure such as this essay I meticulously plan out every part in my head and end up revising all of it multiple times when is on paper, while light-heartedly cursing the creator of such a intricate writing prompt. Other than that, during normal conditions I get what needs to be done the smart way not necessarily hard way. Then I ask all the random questions that my curiosity comes up with later on.

In my favorite class, English, it’s another story. As usual, I get curious, but I take the path of most information to get to a solution instead of just the path of least resistance. Also, during English class I am able to find out how certain things connect to my life and other subjects. An example of this is when I read Animal Farm on my own I understood what the book was about. However, when I got into the classroom, I learned the history during which George Orwell lived and how the society drove him to write his novel. The best part about it is that we have the opportunity to philosophize with the class as a whole then express ourselves through writing.

Anyone can easily tell that English is my favorite class from my actions if not through the fact that I got over 250 on the most recent MAP-R. You could say that I’m a pretty mellow child normally but in actuality I’m constantly absorbing and connecting extra information. Sitting in the back and watching how the others react to trivial things is what I often do even when interacting. Whenever any class holds a Socratic Seminar or any philosophical discussion, though, I come out of my thick layer of thoughts and express my opinions. Often I’m taking a forefront in pushing the debate along. With all of this said, having lived on all four side of the U.S I am as open-minded as they come. Merging into a new culture is as easy as eating for me.

Everything I do whether it is studying, working, interacting, or finding connection between different subjects it is influenced by the fact that I’m a melting pot of cultures, and most definitely the situation. Having been introduced to more philosophy than the average teenager I always end up connecting different subjects. Whether it be consciously or not, finding an association between topics, using anything (from similes to complete philosophical theories), is a daily occurrence for me. All in all, soaking up information through work and study then revealing my true personality through interaction is my strongest talent, not including guitar hero of course.

thnx in advance for any comments
