The document discusses autonomy and autonomous learning. It defines autonomy as the ability to take charge of one's own learning. Autonomous learners typically have seven main attributes: they use their own learning styles and strategies, take an active approach to learning, are willing to take risks, focus on accuracy and appropriateness, are willing to revise and reject hypotheses, and are tolerant and outgoing. Benefits of autonomous learning include self-assessment, individualism, reflection, increased learner motivation, and evaluation. The document then discusses why the author feels they can be an autonomous learner due to traits like discipline, a willingness to learn, independence, taking risks, and being aware of their own learning style and desires.
