Kyle Shipe: Class Overview

I remember the very first class from August. You handed out the syllabus and made each of us compose a short poem to describe ourself. I immediately thought that this was not going to be a class I enjoyed. However, after giving the class a real chance I found myself asking questions and thinking about things that never seemed to cross my mind before. The idea of a sacred place was something that was foreign to me and I had not really dealt with it before this class. While I fully believed that sacred places existed I did not know what constituted a sacred place, and I did not personally know of any sacred places. I'm glad that I didn't drop the class after the first meeting. After giving it a chance it turned out to be very interesting and provided me with lots of information.
