If you were an element what would it be like?

If I were an element, I would pick the element lithium. It is violently reactive to water but also soft enough to be cut with a butter knife. Lithium is an alkali metal causing it to be it highly reactive. Sometimes, I can be happy, kind or shy, but other times when I am angry, people could say I'm "violently reactive."  Lithium is most commonly found in oceans. It floats on water, but also reacts to it. My star sign is Pieces, which is a "water"sign. Ironically, I do not enjoy water much like lithium. This element is special because although it is very soft, it is unexpectedly extremely reactive.

What am I learning about myself as a student in chemistry?

In chemistry, I have learned that doing homework the night that it is assigned is very important. That way, the information you learned in class is fresh, which makes chemistry homework a lot easier.
