Its Hard Work Being A Genius

To be a neurosurgeon you need to have certain characteristics such as being thorough and careful according to don quest. This type of personality can help with research papers because if you read everything thoroughly and carefully then you have a better chance at understanding more and also succeeding.  When we learn a new skill, such as playing chess, or doing a cartwheel, we are changing how your brain is wired on a deep level. Science has shown us that the brain is incredibly plastic meaning it does not harden as we age and stay solid for the rest of our lives. As we learn new things, some may be harder than others as we age like learning a new language, but the brain will eventually adjust and make everything feel more natural and comfortable. Imagination creates different scenario's which gives you different and sometimes better ways to solve something. A genius always finds something that can make it better they look for improvement while the merely good believes that everything is as good as it can get.  


Final Reflection (Extra Credit): If I can be a genius at anything at all I would probably choose body language, by that I mean I would love to know what's going on with a person just by looking at their movements and studying their facial expressions. If I can be a genius at that it would be less challenging to know if a person is in a good mood or not. The only thing stopping me is the fact that I don't think its possible, I don't think its possible at to know whats going on with a person without simply asking them.

Crazy lady

The woman described her disorder as the world being flipped upside down and being lost all the time. Things such as water or curves triggered her disorder, her disorder is neurological because its a brain problem. This disorder can limit a person because their easily confused and can get lost in the blink of an eye. One trick this lady uses is saying her directions out loud. Train your brain is saying that you can teach your brain to do certain things if you try.

My Introduction

My name is Kianna its not spelled that way but I don't want people mispronouncing it... anyways I live in the Bronx like most of you guys its a nasty place to live but that's beside the point. In this course I hope to explore things about the brain I guess, to be honest I didn't know how to answer that question. Anyways my question is why do we need a blogger in English class and why are we learning about the human brain?
