Part 2:
        My name is Kirsten F.  I am from Kennesaw, Georgia.  I chose to come to The University of Alabama for two reasons.  The first is because my older brother who already attended the university made me see how beautiful the campus was.  The second is due the the outstanding Special Education program.  I am now a Collaborative Special Education Major (K-12).  I would like to teach in my own classroom someday in the high school setting, but getting to spend the day with these students anywhere will be just fine by me.  After I graduate from The University of Alabama I aspire to attend graduate school, preferably back in Georgia so that my parents will no longer be on out of state tuition. At this moment I am still deciding my focus area.
      I believe that I have a more creative learning style to thinking.  When we were going over the powerpoint I was thinking that my right brain gets a lot more use than my left.  I am very good at applications and questioning, but I feel that I tend to want to get more creative. When it comes to being a North, South, East, or West, learning style I would write myself down as a West.  I like to carefully plan everything and make sure that I have it all laid out before I begin anything.  It drives me crazy to just jump in without a plan, I can do it, I would just rather see all my options.  I believe through this class I'll learn how to work with each learning and thinking style.  Being able to accommodate all of these styles is what makes effective teaching.  Not every student learns the same way and we need to be aware of that.
