Makenna's Story

I discovered my passion and heart for Psychology when I started to learn more about behavior disorders. I've found it really intriguing and fascinating, and I would love to continue learning more about it. I am constantly looking for opportunities in education to learn more about psychology, and believe that attending UConn Pre-College Summer Program will provide such opportunities for me.

Attending UConn Pre-College Summer Program will help pursue my passion for psychology because I honestly love learning new things everyday. I am not able to learn the in depth details about Psychology at my current school but I would be able to learn more about it with a program like this.

A Note from Ms. Cote, Makenna's Counselor

UConn Pre-College Summer Program would be a wonderful experience for Makenna. Right now what Makenna knows about her future ambitions is that she wants to learn more psychology and study why humans think the way they think and act the way they act. I think more exposure to the curriculum and content of this program will assist her in making an educated decision about a college course of study and an ultimate end goal. I also think that it would be enriching for Makenna to be exposed to the UConn campus and experience a truncated sample of the college experience.

What an incredible experience!

Wow! What an awesome experience this was! Going to UConn for just a week to learn more about my top interests was the best decision I could have made for myself in terms of my future. Sociology was very interesting and I cannot wait to learn more about it. But I still have such a passion for psychology as well! I have decided to double major in Psychology and Sociology for college! Not only will double majoring in both of these give me more of an idea whether or not I like Sociology or Psychology but it will give me many opportunities when it comes to finding a job that’s perfect for me! I just want to thank everyone for letting me have this opportunity! I also want to thank Wishbone!! But lastly, thank you UConn for such an amazing Pre- College Summer experience! I had such an amazing time and I will definitely apply to UConn in the future!

Everyone was so welcoming when I first got there!!

The Excitement is Real!

I am going to be taking the Sociology Human Behavior course this summer! I am extremely excited and blessed to be joining the program because it will give me the time I need to learn more about my passion in psychology and neuroscience. This program will help me develop more of an understanding with the way the human body works as well. I am looking forward to working with other people my age that share the same interests as me! After this program, I hope to have a clearer idea of what my future is going to look like! Thank you!
