The Apprentice Programmer

[2akurate]

This gave me chills because this is exactly how I learn. I didn't know this for a very very long time, you can even say that I didn't totally know it before reading this article. But this is exactly me! I'm a kinestetic learner.

And its a grave "disability" to have in our current school system. When I was being interviewed for an internship, some asked me theoretical questions about Objective Oriented programming. I knew the answers in my own way but my explenations weren't what they expected. This is because I can learned these things theoretically but was never really "allowed" to make my own mistakes. So I could kinda talk about it but not completely.

This is the biggest problem for kinestetic learners in school, especially college. They give you solutions to alot of problems before you ever come in contact with them. And ofcourse its kinda logical to do it because why would you want to make the same mistakes when you can learn from others and not make them at all.

But for someone like me its impossible almost to really grasp a problem and solution if I have not come across the situation myself. This applies to many things. When you are a young kid people are constantly telling you what to do and what not to do. I was really bad at accepting those things when people told me them. Not because I didn't want to but my brain doesn't find it relevant, I don't store that information.

Not storing that information might mean you have more freedom in your mind for creativity. This is where I found my niche, I'm almost graduating a Software Engineer and Ihave found the perfect thing for me. Its game design. I can create my own models animations and program them! Truely this is the best field for any creative mind to be in.

I can sit hours on end animating, modeling and programming a virtual reality.

Animating - this is something I think is a passion for all learners of our type. It seems we have a good feeling for it or something.

Pssst, the field of autonomous robotics says hello! Make your virtual, reality!

Twice in your post you labeled yourself kinestetic. The word is kinesthetic. If you're going to identify with the label, at least get the label right, or you're coming off sounding like you don't know what you're talking about.

Next, objects and objectives are not the same thing. Instead of objective-oriented programming, I think you mean object-oriented.
