My Active Right Brain

..."the role of the right side of the brain, which primarily handles pattern analysis, problem solving, big picture thinking, intuition, creativity, connecting the dots, synthesis, emotional expression, context, and putting the big picture together to create meaning by resolving contradiction in order to make sense of situations and to determine significance, has long been undervalued, under appreciated, and misunderstood in our predominantly left-brained society." p.23  Understanding the Digital Generation, Jukes, McCain & Crockett

This quote completely made me laugh. I would love to send it to all of my teachers from when I was a child and say, "See! I'm not hyper! I'm not wild! The right side of my brain just works better than yours does!" Obviously, this quote hit home for me. :) 

i love the picture of a little red headed girl who is pulling her hair out because no one understands that she is completely on task - just a more important task than the one assigned!
