Pilgrimages of Life
This course has taught me many things. It forced me to think about new ideas and opened my eyes to new things. We learned about the teachings of the Catholic Church as well as teachings of other religions. Seeing issues from multiple perspectives helped me to understand many different viewpoints. My favorite assignment from this course was the Love Story paper. I enjoyed interviewing my parents and listening to everybody share their own stories.
I also enjoyed watching the movie The Way. The main characters embarked on the journey for very different reasons. In the end they each found peace within themselves. Each of the characters had a story and an important reason for choosing to do the walk. They were apprehensive to open up to each other but as they progressed, they got to know each other. Rebecca Gallo's blog on BustedHalo truly captures the pilgrimage through Spain. Similarly to the characters in the movie, she has a story and a reason for embarking on the journey. She meets many travelers along the way and in the end discovers herself.
Overall, I think this was a very beneficial course to take. I was forced to think about new ideas and beliefs. It called me to answer questions like, "Who am I? What is my nature?" I learned a lot about both physical and emotional love. We talked about healthy relationships. I discovered in this course what I expect from relationships with others as well as what I can contribute to healthy relationships. I learned many things about myself and love.
