How Do I Want To Learn?

I learn best by example.  Seeing someone do something and then being able to try for myself is the best way for things to get embedded in my brain.  Another way I learn best is by being in classes and learning about things that I'm truly interested in.  I value the importance in being a well-rounded individual and am grateful for the opportunity to know at least a little bit about everything; however, I'm at the stage of my life and my education where I'm sick of have to know a little about alot and I wanna know everything there is to know about something that I'm passionate about which is the human body.  Put me in an Anatomy course or a Physiology lab and I'm going to excel because every second of class I'm engaged.  I'm not going to waste a single second texting or napping because I might miss out of a piece of knowledge that I've never heard before.  The information I'm able to retain in these courses is amazing.  I still remember all the things I learned in my medical terminology class and my anatomy class that I took in high school because the information is important to me so I hold on to it.  Do I remember anything I learned in my Financial Literacy class or U.S. Government?  Unfortunately not because those classes were horribly uninteresting to me.  So I guess the way I want to learn is by being engaged in activities and materials that I find valuable to myself and my future.
