Essential Aspects Of Self Analysis

1. Describe the essential aspects of a self-directed, intrinsically motivated, active learner?

A self-directed, intrinsically motivated, active learner possesses numerous essential features that help one to excel on their studies. Being a intrinsically motivated, one will continuously push themselves in desire to achieve the goal that they have set on their own.

Identify two areas of personal strength and two areas of personal weakness in being a self-motivated and engaged student.

Being a self-motivated and engaged student, it has both limitations and advantages. Personally, two strength I can have as a self-motivated student are self-discipline and curiosity. Being able to discipline oneself, a lot can be achieved. Majority of the time, students can easily get distracted from studies. Yet with self-discipline, it will always keep me on track. Knowing what needs to be done, I would limit myself from distraction and concentrate on my studies.

That way, if plan A doesn’t work, I would not panic but move forward with my plan B. This allows me to not only think ahead but also be responsible for my actions that would result to the outcome of my set goal. I always tell myself, “No one can live my life better than myself”. Moving forward with this quote I have for my life, despite the outcome of my actions, I’m always grateful for it. Failure will enhance me and success will drive
