Hello!
A Little About Me
I am an English major and an undeclared Spanish minor. I plan to become an author and/ or teacher. I have written poetry, fiction and realistic nonfiction short stories, a play, and most recently, personal essays. I have begun drafts of longer works as well.
I play softball for my college and am the Treasurer for the up-and-coming Quidditch club.
Why World Religions?
In the seventh grade, I discovered my love of Greek and Roman mythology and more generally, ancient civilizations. I have done research on mythology and different theologies in the role as dramaturge in my high school's theater program. I have also read the book,
Have a Little Faith, by Mitch Albom, which had a large influence on my view of religion. In the book, Albom's rabbi has a respect for all religions and all people. Some of the different religious topics discussed in the book sparked a curiosity in me to know about various belief systems.
I share with you a love of Greek and Roman mythology, as well ancient civilizations. I took a mythology course in high school and I've been hooked on the stories since then. I'm looking forward to discussing ancient religions in this class.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that there are people who are interested in ancient civilization as well as like Greek mythology. My passion for these started when i was in sixth grade when i read my first greek myth Jason and the Argonaunts.
ReplyDeleteI became hooked because of a very enthusiastic and fun teacher I had in 7th grade! Plus, I love the Percy Jackson series, which got me to research more myths.
DeleteI think it is safe to say that the majority of students in this class are interested in a lot of the historical background of these religions we will learn about. I am glad to see that you are very comfortable in your hobbies and aspirations and hopefully that comfort will come to the classroom and help everyone be welcoming to others' thoughts and opinions on whatever topics and ideas we will discuss.
