Sweet dreams

Throughout the humanities term, Who am I? our last unit was called Doubt and Dream which was the total opposite to our first unit which was Truth and Memory we were able to meet with Matt Fitzgerald who is a pastor in Chicago. We were able to talk to him about doubt and questions that we had. We were also able to talk to an Imaam, Abu-Noor Ryan, getting an Islamic perspective as well. This was by far one of my favorite courses this year at GCE being able to explore. At the end, we were able to create our own dream catchers. We looked deeper into the meaning behind a dreamcatcher. I tend to see dreamcatchers around Tumblr and it's usually shown as a "cute" project, but that's culture appropriation which is not acceptable especially in this day and age. Look through my ISSUU presentation to get an explanation of the Ojibwa tribe and my own dreamcatcher and the meaning behind it all. This was an experience that has made me think more about my cultural background.
