The Life Of Ben Finkelstein 

About Me

I am 15 years old and I am from Burlington, Vermont.  I currently attend Cardigan Mountain School in Canaan, New Hampshire.  I play varsity football, hockey and lacrosse.  Hockey is my main sport as it is my best and that is where I have found the most success in my life.  Feel free to contact me at benjamin.finkelstein@cardigan.org of b.fink16@gmail.com

Academic Life

Here at Cardigan I am taking six classes a day.  Biology, World History, Geometry, French 2, English, and PEAKS.  Throughout the year on days when I do not have these core classes I attended art class and currently music class.

Learning


A learning profile is how someone learns.  It shows the type of learning styles that best suits you.  It can be helpful for teachers and students.  It informs people on the ways that their brain works.  It can allow teachers to adjust their courses to help the students learning style, which would help you improve on daily work and long term goals.  I have my own learning styles just like everyone else.  My top learning categories that I personally have the most success with are body physicality and visual spatial.

The learning profile called body physical is one category that I absolutely excel at.  It is my strongest learning style.  This type of learning styles is one that has proven it is easier to learn for someone like myself when you are doing hands on activities such as experiments.  I find learning with hand on activities easier because I am usually very comfortable and I enjoy it.  When I am comfortable with my own knowledge I prove to be very confident with the material.  That is why my top learning style,  body and physical really helps me in the academic nature.

 Another learning style that I succeed with is visual spatial.  I tend to do well when being taught in different ways forcing me to look outside the box.  I do very strong work when learning this way because I see things that a lot of people do not catch.  Therefore, when others can’t pick up on the little things that I am talented on picking up.  It puts me a step ahead of everyone.  Just like body physical when I have success in one category I feel confident and show my skills, which sets me ahead of the class.

Learning profiles can be very helpful for not just teachers, but learns as well.  They allow you to improve on the way your understanding and the ways that you learn best.  For example, when I am in a class and we are physically performing what we are trying to learn I understand it a lot better than just staring at a board and taking notes all day.  Understanding the way you learn will help you succeed much more effectively than if you do not.  If you realize how important and valuable your learning profiles can be, you put yourself ahead of the game.
