How have your emotions affected your learning?

Prompt #2: How have your emotions affected your learning?

       I think that emotion has a huge impact on my learning because when I get angry, I really don’t want to do anything. I remember one time I am trying to teach my brother numbers one and two. I tell him that this is one and that is two and he repeated after me. That moment, I am happy because he is listening to me. So, I decide to test him which number is one and he gets it right. I tell him “good job, brother.” But, when I test him which number is two, he pointed at one. I am like what, how could my brother get it wrong because the numbers look different. One is written on a light blue star shape while the number two is written on a pink rectangle shape. The numbers is printed bold and big. Then, I teach him few more times and he still didn't get it right and it pissed me off. I feel like he is guessing by pointing at any number since you have 50% to guess it right. When I try to force him keep learning the numbers, he start crying unstop. I was wondering why he cries so much. I went back to my room and I was mad because my brother couldn't even remember just two numbers. I lie on my bed and was staring at the roof. I don’t feel like doing homework or studying for my test because I hate when my brother cries. It loud, annoying and make me unable to focus on doing homework. Do all the kids act that way? Why is my brother unable to focus and remember the number? Maybe he is distracted by the toys around him. There are more than 30 toys in the living room, including car and airplane. He is even holding two cars at his hand. What is he thinking when I am trying to teach him? Since he is only three years old, he mind is probably want to watch TV, play his toys and fool around the room. Was I like that when I am young? Probably, since all kids want to play and can to easier distracted. Let put that aside, I am going to focus on my exhibition first. I open my computer and start researching about my exhibition topic. I find some interesting things about sexual assault. I read one of the articles and it surprises me that “one out of five women will be rape in their life time on campus.” I keep on reading different articles for an hour unstop until I heard “Bing-Dong, Bing-Dong.” What is that noise? I open my door and I see my brother throwing his cars all over the place. Suddenly, he throws his cars at me and it hit my leg. I yelled at him to stop and tell my mom to bring him back to his room because I am trying to focus on exhibition research. I open a Microsoft document and starting typing up some ideas about my outline. Then, I heard loud TV noise outside the living room. I walk to the living room and see my grandma watching Asian show about fighting against the Japanese. I tell my grandma to low down the volume and I went back to my room. But I don’t remember what I am trying to write again, so I decide to take a nap. This shows that if you get distracted too many times, it is impossible to focus back to what you doing. Well, thats how I am.
