Over the past eight weeks I have learned so much in VHS. I appreciate the discussions we have had on potential vocations (both religious and non-religious) and the qualities of a healthy relationship. I think what helped me to truly connect with the information we learned in class was the personal stories shared regarding each individual topic. It is easier to relate to and idea or theory when an example is provided. I also enjoyed the movies and documentaries we watched occasionally. They too helped me to relate with the class curriculum.
I love that we ended our class with The Way because it truly embodies the different journeys we will all face in our senior year and college years. I also think it was important that we learned more about the "hookup culture," more importantly reality v. fiction. It is easy to get swept up in what television shows and magazines portray college life to be. However, thanks to VHS I will be able to step on campus well informed and confident. I am thankful for the information this class provided for me.
