180˚ South Reflection

On your blog, please choose 1 of the following quotes from the documentary and compose a post in which you reflect on its meaning in terms of:
1. the film & Jeff Johnson's journey;
2. your own life and what journeys lie ahead beyond high school.

--"Books are a great start, but there is no substitute for just going there."--

This quote perfectly sums up the movie as a whole. Their quest to Patagonia was one of meaning and self enlightenment and they found everything they were looking for and more. Just reading about Patagonia and the various peaks and mountains may give you good perspective on the area, but going there gives you a chance for you to discover your true being and inner self. This can lead into our own lives because we may read about an event, a place, or even a college however, going there or experiencing the real thing is special. You get your own personal insight into this place or college and can create your own ideals and opinions based solely on your personal experiences. There isn't much better in life than just getting up close and personal with something of interest to you.

This is a picture taken this summer when my family went to California. Here we are at Yosemite National Park with Yosemite Falls directly infront of us and El Capitan directly to our left (out of the picture).
