My education paper "the cubes"

Describe it

I would like to describe my topic for my education paper. My paper is mainly on whats called an IEP. To be totally honest I’m not quite sure that it actually stands for, but I know what it means. It means that I have a learning disability. I have a hard time understanding things that are taught in class at times. It might take me a little while longer to do homework or class work. It doesn’t mean that I am dumb or anything obviously. Which although often times this is how I am treated if I tell people about it before they really get to know me. If the person knows me before I tell them they are normally pretty shocked.

Compare it

I will tell/ give examples of how my IEP compares to other people in the classes that I am in. For example, I’m currently in a math class and again and again I have to ask the teacher for help. Because this math teacher speaks very fast and he doesn’t usually write things down. Unlike half the class who understands it right when he says it. I have to pretty much tell him to write down the problem for me so I can visual see what he is trying to explain. Then after a while of processing it I will normally get it down.

Analyze it

I have thought about my IEP quite often actually. I have considered all the things that I struggle with because of it. So I’m going to inform you with a few of the things I have found out about it and how it has affected me. One of the ways that my IEP has “helped” me you can say or taught me. Is to be determined and persistent. I have had teachers become in patient with me because I’m not understanding it after multiple times of explanation but, I truly don’t mind. The teachers job is to teach me to the best of there ability. So, I know that if I have to work hard to get the knowledge and understanding that I need I will do that. With being determined I have also learned independence I have to be independent and out spoken with my needs in I just sit back and don’t say anything when I need help I won’t get anywhere. So, yes in a way sometimes I do “demand it.” What can I say I love to learn.

Apply it

With my IEP how I personally apply it to my life, is threw it. What part of it really is is a contract with the school and the school agrees to give me the help that I need. So sometimes I have to apply it is asking for “help” on tests when it was not asked of me. I also sometimes have to have things read to me so I can better understand them. I won’t give so much detail on this subject because I gave lots of details that apply into this subject also on the page before. Although overall on this paper I want to show people that they can overcome anything if they truly go after it. In life I know that I might have to work 10 times hard then some people with school. But I also know that we all have our challenges. So, that is what my IEP has really taught me.
