VHS

             In the past 8 weeks, I have learned a lot about vocations in life and how religion and relationships play a huge role in the importance and value of life. One of the main topics we discussed in VHS is the value of human life by means of discussion about abortion, IVF, and contraception. I kept my opinions on pro-choice, but I really learned how affected people are by the decisions they make towards carrying a child and giving birth. In the video we watched about the couple who carried the baby of another couple, I learned how attached one becomes to a child after carrying him/her for nine months. The difficulty of giving up someone that has been developing inside of you is indescribable, and I realized that I don't think I could ever make a decision to give up a child or terminate a life.
              In The Way, as well as in our many discussions, we saw the importance of realizing your true mission and calling despite the distractions of every day life. Sometimes, an escape from the business of the hectic world is needed to calm your mind and realize your real desires. I learned a lot about acceptance of yourself and acceptance of others. Every one is different in their path, whether it is religious life, homosexuality, single living, or married life. This class was one of the best escapes from the insanity of the Mount and the decisions that come along with Senior year. I'm going to miss it :(
