Intersection Meeting

After discussing religion in First Year Connection, I decided to take Mr. Andy's invitation to check out Intersection. I wasn't sure exactly what would it would be about, but why not go. There are plenty things to try and explore while at college right. I love new experiences.

So I went to the Backdoor Playhouse, there was about fifteen or twenty of us and coffee. There was a friendly atmosphere and I felt at ease. Once we all sat down and introduced ourselves, we took turns telling our stories. Our story being where our background has lead us. I felt like we all had something in common, our ideas and questions kind of pushed all of us in a similar direction.

That's not to say I felt like I understood everyone. I couldn't, I have a lot a head of me. There were some there that had been through plenty and searched long and strong for something that fit their hearts desire. Some made me nervous, not them themselves. The ideas. That's only because I knew little about it and from what I heard it was supposed to be wrong. Ah but that is only a small tangle I'm working out in myself. My father has much influence on my beliefs. I studied his religion for a while. He was my dad, my leader and guide, my protector; at a young age I could follow him without a doubt. even if it meant no costumes or candy. So to hear about pagans, I felt as if I was about to be tested. College would be my downfall. I'd get caught up in evil and go to the dark side. Ha I'm exaggerating but I did get nervous. I figured that's only because I still agree with a few things with my father about.

Overall I'm interested in attending again. I'm not sure I'd start "practicing" anything, but I'd really like to learn more about the member's beliefs and findings. Perhaps it can solve my unanswered questions and lead me to my next destination. There is much I need to learn and explore.
