What i am going to say in my final presentation

For me understanding religion was always a difficult thing to do. For instance, being baptized at a very young age, all I have from that was fuzzy memories. As I grew up I went to church with my parents, but yet again had a hard time dealing with my religion. because I was so small. I never was able to see what was happening at church, so it made me bored and rambunctious Seeing the back of someone’s pants for an hour did not help either. The more I grew up the more questions I asked, and the further away I strayed from religion. Going to Salpointe was a major contributor to this. For some time of my life, I seemed lossed, no where to go, not knowing where I was or which road to travel on. However, that all seemed to change, when certain pieces of my life fell together when I went to Peru on a mission trip. This trip not only changed me emotionally, but spiritually. It was a culture shock at first, seeing military men with guns, and poverty right out of the airport. It was so much to take in, it was like an overload of my senses. But the more I let in, and the more I felt, the closer I seemed to be seeing gods work.

A REALIZATION

Since this whole week has been so awkard for me. I really took a look at my life and what surrounds me. I realized how close i felt like i came to death, and it really made me think about things, life, and of course god. What i tried to do while i was up here, was put some sort of closure together on it. The way i did this was, by putting my pictures together from Peru. When i finally did it, i finally understood in a small way, what i wanted to do for my final. I really don't care what kind of my grade i get in this class, i just want to incorporate my experience while i was down there. I have over 70 pictures i put together, and i have video to incorporate more of this feeling. I know i am taking a risk by not using my pictures from my midterm. But i feel so stongley in doing this, and i want to express what i saw and the feeling i felt. So hopefully i get this in time, and Sama if u read this i hope that u will except the way i think, and hopefull help me out. Life is ever so changin and i know i sure am
