Domenica DiStasio 31138525 As I was reading the reflections from junior and senior biology majors I felt relief. I realized that they also had many of the feelings that I have been feeling about being in a large lecture hall, coming, from a small town, and not knowing many people. It made me feel a lot better about the position that I am in knowing that others were also in the same position. One of my favorite reflections was Student L’s.
