A learning style is the method in which one is most suited, but not necessarily strongest, at gathering and applying information. Learning styles are fashioned to "open-up discussion among learners" about their respective preferences. A visual learner is someone who prefers to see the subject at hand in order to understand it. An auditory learner is someone who prefers to learn of something through a spoken description. A read-write learner prefers a written description. And a kinesthetic learner is someone who prefers to learn through trial. Learning styles aren't cut and dry, however, as many have more than one style and are called multimodal learners. My learning stlye is multimodal (VRK). Knowing this provides no insight into myself as a learner, but that is mostly due to my unusual level of self-awareness. As a (VRK) multimodal learner I prefer visual and written instruction as well as a demonstration in order to fully understand something and then apply any gained knowledge. If anything can be gained from knowing your learning style it is that you can set up your own personal study program; but to reiterate, a learning style simply states preference and not strength. And also, I don't hold the VARK test itself in high regard as there weren't many qustions on the questionnaire and each question had a fixed set of answers to choose from. For most of the questions I would have answered differently from the choices given. So to sum up, I find the concept of learning styles completely inconsequential especially because they are designed to spark discussion and self-reflection. What I'm implying is that learning styles only legitimate purpose is to discuss how flawed you think it is or not.

Bien venire, my name is Brandon and I am from the Yuba-Sutter region of California. I'm a student at Humboldt State University where I major in film with a minor in art. The fact that I wish to become a screenwriter goes in hand with the topic/prompt of this letter. My weakness as a student is that I get bored easily and drift off into my fantasy land where I formulate various scenarios in which to write about in the future, that, or exotic foods. My strengths as a student, however, are...I have none. I guess I have quite the inferiority complex, don't I? I have a vast writing history as well as a tendency to reject formal writing standards. I'm incapable of forming a legitimate argument and am therefore unable to write argumentitive essays. In my high school English classes I was docked points for using colloquialisms in expository essays.
I am not fluent in any other languges, but I know some Spanish from high school and I know many different words and phrases in French, Italian, Japanese, Malay, Latin, and Welsh. I would, however, like to be able to speak these languages more. I often read for fun, though mostly comic books. Books I read that aren't comics are usually Agatha Christie novels or "Tortilla Flat:, though aside from that book in paticular I really don't care for John Steinbeck. As far as reading for research, I did once read a bunch of books on gourmet pastries for a screenplay I was devising about an eight year old confections prodigy and the dirty old man who steals his treats.
I came to Humboldt because what I used to want to do for a career required a Bachelors Degree in Science. I came to Humboldt in paticular because it was the only CSU that didn't have desert dry air and prominent over crowding. I decided to change my major after seeing the film Stranger than Fiction, possibly the best yet most underrated Will Ferrell movie of all time, and also after realizing that a Bachelors Degree in any Science would require me to take over eight of my least favoite subject courses. Initially, however, that film made me want to be a writer, but because of my disregard for English writing formats and the fact that any narrative I produced sounded like a script I decided to do screenwriting instead.
I guess I have disclosed as much on-topic information as I can, but why go through the hassle of constructing a closing statement when I can just stop...
