How Do I Know What I Know?

Fall 2017 Class Writing

Each person learns things in their own way. I know what I know because of a few different ways. I know a lot of things by the experience that I have put into those certain skills. I also learn with books and someone giving me a lecture on how do things and apply myself. The last one is inspiration from others. Being able to see what others have learned, helps me to know more.

I know what I know through my choices. Every choice I make has an outcome. Sometimes the out is not good, but it's a learning process. With that process comes experience. It's the choices and experiences I have had over time that have helped me to know what I know today.

Angie McGuire

I know what I know because, I have made mistakes, and I learned from them. I don't see mistakes as failure, they are important learning experiences. Making mistakes is a great way to learn how not to do things and at the same time learn how to use critical thinking to get past an obstacle. I believe I have had a better education from my failures than from any book, or class I have taken.

Well from being in the womb for 9 months you can actually hear things around you. For example, you learn whose voice is who, and that's how we learned who our parent’s voices were. Then after your out in the world you start to experience on objects. Well I started to learn from touching and tasting to talking and learning. By just paying attention and by trying to understand the difference. And willing to use that knowledge further in life and improve it.

How I know what I know, that is a deep multifaceted question. I would first have to give all credit to My Heavenly Father, My God, My Lord and My Savior. It is because of Him I live and breathe, and it is Him I first turn to in all aspects of my life. It is Him that is the giver of knowledge and wisdom, and it is Him that I trust! He never fails to give me what I need just when I need it! He brings knowledge to me and places people and events before me. Knowledge is a gift from God.

In the ancient language of Sanskrit, the words "to know" translate directly to, "to go through". In order to know things, one must experience, be taught, or sometimes one’s being just simply knows. I know what I know about my God because I just know. I can feel it in my very being. I know what I know about literature, mathematics, and history through years of schooling. Most importantly I know what I know about life through experiencing it firsthand.

I know the things I know by the people that surround me. The people I am around with have different experiences and point of views which rub off on me. That is why I know what I know not only by people’s perspectives, but their learnings from sight, touch, hear, taste, and smell.

Mireya Trejo

I know the things I know by people I surround myself with. By the media and the perspectives and influences of others. I know what I know by looking into the things that surround me and I gain knowledge that way. I don’t only know things by other people, I also learn things on my own using my senses such as my sight, touch, hear, taste, and smell.

How do I know what I know? There are many ways for people to establish what they know; however, I believe that most efficient way is to teach others. By teaching others, one is reminding his or her self of what she knows. Whether it is something simple, such as teaching others to read, or something more complex, such as teaching others how to rebuild a motor, physically teaching others is the most efficient way to know what you know.

Angelina Garza

I know what I know because of my family, experiences, and learning. My family, mostly my parents, have helped me know what I know since I was born. Experiences have taught me a lot because when I fail I will always learn from the mistakes I made. My everyday life has also helped me learn because I don't do the same thing every day so when I do something new I will learn about and become better at it.

Saul Martinez

How do I know, what I know? Just by living different experiences, through time we start making decisions either for the good and bad and we learned from them. Also the people that surrounds us, we learned from them. And also by technology anything we see, hear or touch we learned and start to use.

Juan Aguilar

I know what I know by the experiences I have been through in my life. Experiences whether they were good or bad taught me a lot of things. Another way I know what I know is what I learned. Most of my learning came from my parents. They did a good job on teaching me things I would need in my life as I got older.

How do I know what I know? I don’t think there is a way to really explain it. You sort of just have to trust that what know is true. If we didn’t then how would anything get done? Knowing what you know comes down to cold hard facts and proof. If you can prove what you say is right, then you should know what you know.

Danny Farfan

A person can know many things in many different ways through things such as experience, and learning. One for example is being taught what is right and what is wrong through parents, and or older siblings. With learning you know what you want to learn, that someone can use to their benefit, but also at the same time you learn things that you do or do not want to know.

Krysta Maier

I believe I know what I know mostly by my experiences. I’ve learned how to do things the hard way and the easy way too. Heaven forbid I take anyone’s advice on how to do anything. I also have been inspired by my religion. It has taught me how to be a more patient and kind person. And helps me to see the best in a person even when they are at their worst.

Greg Darrington

I feel that over the years "how I know what I know" has come from a few different reasons. Most of the time I have learned from someone else. Either watching them or what they taught me to do. And once in a while what they taught me leads me to go deeper on my own, by studying or by trial and err experiments to prove if something works or does not.

Jessica Hunt

How do I know what I know? There are a lot of reasons I know what I know. First of all, I have really amazing parents who taught me and encouraged me to learn all that I can about everything that I can. I learned a lot from school and good teachers that took an interest in me. I also have done a lot of learning on my own by research and through experience. And some things, I just seem to have an intuition about them. I love learning and strive to learn every day.

Alexis O’Connell

Most of the things I know are from my own personal experience. I learn new things every day from things that I experience. You learn more things going to school and being able to except others opinions helps you keep an open mind about things.

Personally, I have always been a visual learner. If you want me to learn something, show me how you want it done, show me ways it can go wrong and what I can do to avoid or correct these issues. The second step to my learning is let me do it, while being supervised. Once both of us feel like I got it then let me do it on my own. Being able to perform a skill on my own with little to no need for instruction gives me a pretty good sense of what I know. I think if someone practices a skill long enough and has ran into a few errors and learned how to correct or overcome them they can develop a way to adapt and adjust, which I feel can only be done after learning has been accomplished.

Ethen Maughan

I know what I know from experience, from living life. I know what I know from failure and from successes. People have taught me what I know. The world has taught me what I know. My family and friends are the reason I know what I know. I know what I know from repetitions in life - what to do and what not to do

Paty Tinoco

I know what I know thanks to my memory. I remember a lot of important factors due to the fact that I have a good memory. I also know many skills through practice. If I don’t understand something I practice it over and over again until I learn how to do it well.
