Me, Myself and I

Hello everyone, my name is Matthew Tuttle. I am 21 years old, a Senior, from Long Island, NY. My many hobbies include reading, following celebrity gossip via my favorite celebrity blogs, watching television, and, coincidentally, blogging (though I've been slacking off for a bit.)

My major is Psychology with a concentration in Applied Behavioral Analysis. It's a program offered within the Psychology department that allows to me to take special coursework in Behavioral Therapy at the Institute for Child Development, a center on campus (behind the East Gym) specializing in empirically-based therapy for children with Autism and learning disabilities. My specific program is a full-year educational program for children on the Autism Spectrum. I've been taking courses there for two years, and I'm now working there as a part-time teacher's aide. If it's a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, you can probably find me there working with some of the best children in the world.

Also, I think it's important to mention that I am a Christian. I serve currently as the President of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a community of students on campus who want to know more about who God is and how we can live out our faith while in college. My spirituality is a defining force in my worldview.

I took this class really because I've had Fr. Fischer as a professor before and learned a lot, and this course also will count towards my German minor. Ich hoffe, dass ich den Blogeintrag nicht auf Deutsch schreiben gemusst habe.
