As far as connections to everday life, I am not making that many yet. I do find myself thinking of classroom situations that I have faced when reading. I think the connections to everyday life will come as we get deeper in.
I am always slow to make new connections with people so I must force myself to be more open and talk more. I will move out of my comfort zone more often in this class than I did in Pre MTTC due to the fact that I am more out of my element and will need more help.
