I have found through my years of experience that I struggle in some classes and strive in others. Also I have found out why and this helps me to fix the reasons why I struggle and better the reasons why I excel. In the subjects of language like english and spanish I do not perform as well as I do in other classes. The subjects that I do well in are science, math and history. Within the past few years I have noticed the differences between the classes and how they affect my performance in the class.
The main difference that I struggle with in language subjects is that there is not always a correct answer. Language classes will ask for one’s opinion for an answer and how you answer the question is what you are graded on. This is why I do not do as well in these classes. My mind has difficulty with conveying an opinion instead of simply answering a problem. Being able to simply find the answer to the question is much easier for me. This is why I do better in classes where there is one answer to the question.
Another difference between subjects is that science and history are based on memory. For me memorizing vocab, dates, and other things is much easier than being able to know how to do a problem and why like in math. These differences between the classes clearly determine how I do in them and knowing the differences helps me fix problems that I have with them.
