Week Thirteen

Welcome to this week's topic - Diversity & Inclusion IV - Film - Motorcycle Diaries

These past two weeks have definitely been ones to remember. I have done so much with my friends and family, and I have had a great time. Thanksgiving was a blast, and I am excited for Christmas. 
Christmas break, where are you? It is hard to think about not having FYE next semester; I will miss all of the fun, interactive classes with my fellow classmates, Taylor, and Dra. I am very thankful to have been a part of this special FYE group.

Regarding this week's topic - Motorcycle Diaries was a very interesting film to watch. Before watching the film, I had never heard of Che Guevara. I am glad that I was given the opportunity to learn about him. It is quite astonishing to watch an entire movie about someone who you have no prior knowledge about and then see that person in a positive light only to learn about how terrible that person actually was. I am sad that Che Guevara turned his life and his intentions into something that eventually hurt so many other people. I now know the true purpose of all the shirts and the bumper stickers - this experience has taught me that it is really important to truly know the details and the purpose of something for which you openly show support. I am glad that Will mentioned in our GroupMe that his uncle has a Che bumper sticker. Without this class, I never would have known about the importance of the Che symbol.
In class, we were given a sheet where we had to describe our personal most memorable moment of the film. While I do not remember exactly what I put, I do remember how impactful the scene where Che goes out of his way to speak to the young diseased girl was. It definitely showed his openness and compassion at being a physician.

I am glad to have had this class to learn about this important topic, and I look forward to one more week of class. Thanks for reading!
