Body Kinesthetic Research Paper
As a whole, humans have been proven to be the most intelligent species. We have built rockets and walked on the moon, we have studied a human heart and figured a way to make it work, fail and then work again. We have trained other species to do what we want them to. We have also studied the way a human brain works, the thought process and complex responses of a person. In all this, a theory had emerged from cognitive research that people possess eight different intelligences. There aren’t two minds that are the same, and because each person has a different kind of a mind, they also learn and receive information differently.

I have to do something myself in order to make sure that it works the way it is supposed to. I can watch someone do their job for hours, and not know what they are talking about until I get into it myself.

The instructors have gone over the material for all the different programs and the use of the policy and procedures. My first week out on the line I could not remember a single thing taught in class. I was worried that I was going to make mistakes and not get people the benefits they are entitled to; instead I was going to throw the entire system off and cause other worker problems. Once I received my daily task allotment, I was able to see that I actually remember a lot of what I learned in class and began taking notes of my actual work load. By the end of the week, my desk was covered in sticky notes, but I could navigate through the required system without a hitch. Within the first month on the floor I was answering questions that came from workers who had already been there for years. Currently I sit in a row with eight other people. We all are workers for different aid programs and now have to handle all issues in one call resolution manner. We consult with each other daily, and sometimes three or four of us have to come together to find a solution to a really messy program. I am happy working with my coworkers as a team. We all learn from each other and rely on one another for vital information that will help someone in
