University of Connecticut Top Questions

What I have gotten out of my college experience is not just information from classes and lectures but information that I can utilize and apply to other individuals and even my students. For example, Sigmund Freud's defense mechanism's and recognizing the signs and symptoms of Autisim so I can obtain my students required assistance if they need it. I also became more of an individual, a free thinker, if you will that allowed to me to follow a non-traditional path post-graduation that is currently involves service in the United States military.
