=**Reflections:**= Cooperative skills can help you in college a lot. Mostly I think because in college you have to work sometimes in groups. These skills can help you in knowing how to behave when you are working in groups. Sometimes you don't get to pick your groups and you may not like your group. But with these skills you can work well with your group.
