Journey 

  Journey main definition is, an act of travelling from one place to another and this journeys are the ones you call external journeys . But journey is also defined as, a long and often difficult process of personal change and development and this are the internal journeys. We all have journeys constantly either externals or internals. Like getting from your house to university or realizing you don’t have the exact same values as your family. Little or big, we are always embarking on new journeys. This class helped me learned that it’s okay to have whichever type of journey we choose at least the ones for the better. 

 I tend to focus on my external journeys most because sometimes we don’t want to deal with the ones we may have going on inside of our heads at least that’s my case. As a person who does not have a car I have to rely on my parents to get to the university and this second semester my schedule was a little conflicting with my parents schedule an it’s not like I live like minutes from the university, I live an hour and something away so sometimes it got challenging and I founded myself adjusting and readjusting my studying schedule for me to be able to make it work.  Because of this class I learned how to be persistent and open on my assignments and my way of thinking, since class was always of us opening up about our point of view and way of thinking of various subjects. 

I’m a person that likes to be true to herself about what is happening through my head either good or bad. But exactly last year on June I found myself on a different page with my parents on some delicate subjects, at least for them and since that moment forward I’ve been trying to not express the way I feel or think about something and it has really made me a sad and stressed person and this class really helped me on another level to be secure of the person I am and the way I may think. It has lit a fire of hope inside of me to not let anybody make me feel less or small because of who I am as a person and I will forever cherish that. We shouldn’t be afraid or ashamed of who we are as individuals and learn that it’s okay to have different ways of thinking. 

I am a stronger person and acceptant of who I am. I have learned to love myself more again and that I’m not wrong just because it’s against with my parents believe in. Be good, do good and just give and receive love because something are just not worth stressing over.
