This week in sociology, we watched Tuesdays with Morrie. Not only was this an incredible movie, and one of the only movies I've ever cried in, but it also taught a great lesson about values. Even though Morrie had a terminal illness, he still lived every moment of his life to the fullest. He impacted every single person around him, and I hope I can do the same in my life. This movie taught me to set my priorities straight and to not worry about all of the little things and focus on the most important ones like friends and family.

This week in class we watched a movie called, God Grew Tired of Us. It was very interesting and kind of odd to see how there are things so much different than this Stevenson bubble I live in. I look at the struggles of the lost boys, and it's hard for me to believe that it's even real. It makes me realize how fortunate I am, but at the same time how different the culture is all across the world. It impacted me to see the difference in the norms in Africa and in the United States.
