Connections with High School

      Although college and high school are very different, I still notice some connections between the classes here at UWEC and in my high school classes. I remember my 9th grade geography class as a fun but interesting class. I have always loved studying the world and it places. during this class I remember talking about manifest destiny. This term got brought up in my american studies class as well. Manifest destiny was a term to describe Americans moving west to acquire new land. This term has recently been brought up in geography class. As I continue my education here at UWEC I realized that many of the skills I learned in high school apply to college studies as well. these skills include some writing techniques, study techniques, and comprehensive reading strategies. In college I am starting to notice that my skills need to exceed what was needed for high school classes.
