In the past eight weeks, this class has been an escape for me. An escape from the craziness of the halls and the hectic schedule of the start of senior year. I have enjoyed beginning our class with a prayer everyday as well as watching some reflection videos. The articles on Busted Halo were my fav. I enjoyed reading them because it was something different, opposed to reading straight out of the textbook. The blogs (another fav) and other activities such as the newspaper and brought variety into the classroom which I think is important, especially in religion class.
Throughout the lessons and activities of VHS, I have come to understand that everyone has a vocation, or a path or a journey, created by God for us to follow in our lives. This life journey can have many ups and many downs. If you keep your faith in God and are willing to let God's light shine through and trust that His ways have meaning, then you will overcome the “downs” of the life journey. Another thing I have learned from this class is to stay true to myself, especially when I go off to college next year. It is important to stay true to your beliefs and values and to not feel pressured into doing things that go against these standards. Overall, I have gained many valuable insights from this fun little eight week class.
