The Way

As I watched The Way, I was inspired by the various stories each person told, and despite their differences, they were all able to take a journey of discovery. Each individual had a goal, and although some of their goals changed along the way, each of them strived to achieve what they had set out for. The film also inspired me to be open to others no matter what, because you never truly know another person's story just by looking at them. The characters were all able to connect and understand each other, despite their differing backgrounds, cultures, and interests. As I move on to college, I think it will be important to keep an open mind as I meet other people from all over the world. I would love to go on a pilgrimage like this movie because experiences similar to this allow you to learn more about yourself, discover new places, meet new people, and get out of your comfort zone. I think that as the movie progressed, Tom realized that the trip was not just for his son but for himself to. Through the trip Tom was able to get a better understanding of his son and of himself.
