I don't have a mother who is fighting cancer, or a father who died when I was little. This class has taught me to cherish every single moment with my family, because everything can change in a split second. My faith has changed because before I came to FSHA, and expanded the bubble I live in, I started to see real difficulty and loss. I now see that God puts you through tough situations to make you stronger. The attached song, "Count on Me", tell the listener that no matter what, they will always support them. This song relates to my essential truth because no matter the circumstance, family can count on each other to always be there.

This includes friends that have become family, as well as those I share blood with. ]]> 2017-12-19 19:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynlytle21/9f0wmmf19c8y/wish/217357041 How do you feel that you’ve grown personally over the course of the semester? What have you learned about yourself? kathrynlytle21 https://padlet.com/kathrynlytle21/9f0wmmf19c8y/wish/217362469 Over the course of this first semester I have learned what I cherish most (the exercise where we had to throw everything away until we had our most important person, thing, feeling, or place left), how to connect to people on a deeper level, and how to empathize. I have learned that when I connect with someone, I deeply feel what they are feeling. I find it extremely hard to see friends struggle. When I do see a friend having a hard time, I make an effort to spend time with them, and just be there to listen. The attached song depicts the first few weeks of FSHA, and the immediate connection I felt with some of my best friends.

The attached video is one I have shown in class before, however it just shows all the joy and happiness I have felt here.

As with the audio of that video, I have always loved to sing, however I have learned that it touches you even more deeply when you sing with close friends and you share your love of something with someone else.

Thinking about things I can do right now, I can help those that are less fortunate give their families a happy Christmas. The love and hope I feel for others will help me in looking towards a better future, possibly in the environment or a company.]]> 2017-12-19 20:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynlytle21/9f0wmmf19c8y/wish/217366855 ... kathrynlytle21 https://padlet.com/kathrynlytle21/9f0wmmf19c8y/wish/217370166 I hope that it is okay that I did not include anything from the bible! I was not quite sure what exactly you wanted for the last question, however I tried my best!]]> 2017-12-19 20:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kathrynlytle21/9f0wmmf19c8y/wish/217370166
