It was my second full day in Ireland and we as the Victory Scholars had the chance to see the Peace Wall. The experience was something that I will never forget. The story’s that we heard will never leave me. The trip to the peace Wall wasn’t peaceful to me, it was kind of stressful to me. I didn’t know what to expect and to hear the harm that has happened near the wall is a bit of terrifying. I made my title a question because the wall confuses me a little bit. It is called the Peace Wall but what the wall divides isn’t a peaceful topic. It was good that we had people in the group that come from either sides so that we could hear their stories. It is cool to see that they are able to work together and be able to be friends. Thirty years ago this would not have been the case. I was glad this took place so early into my journey here in Ireland so that could get the understanding of the past history.
