Throughout the class of VHS, I have learned more about controversial issues in today's society such as abortion, same sex marriage, cohabitation, and IVF. I have learned the full meaning of vocation and becoming who you are. I will carry my understanding of the 'hook-up' culture to college with me and instead take time to find a suitable companion. I have learned more about the domestic church and maybe someday I will establish this way of life in my future home. Reading the horrific article about Kermit Gosnell, I think the topic of abortion should be taken more seriously in our society. Also, the process of IVF was a topic I did not know much about so it was interesting to look at the positives, negatives, and the morality behind it.
I think watching 'The Way' was a perfect end to this class because it shows the relationships between others and ourselves. I have learned from this movie and from this class to never judge a person because you do not know what they are struggling with. I will carry this lesson with me for the rest of my life because everyone is different and each person struggles along the way.
