I am able to understand topics more thoroughly and learn better if I am able to do it and see it myself.

Not only has this lab positively affected me in the rest of my college career, but in the long term as well. It has shone another light on life and given me a new perspective of how I look at things. I now understand life and all of its forms at the microscopic level. Because I am majoring in Occupational Therapy and planning on becoming an Occupational Therapist, this class has helped me to understand the roots of life and will help me understand roots of issues I will need to help people solve in the
