History is by far my favorite subject in school, however, it is very difficult to learn all the names and dates, however, the challenge is well worth it for several reasons. First, it’s great to learn about inspirational figures from the past. For example, today, we learned about Abraham Lincoln, who guided America through the Civil War. Second, I get to see how the past has influenced our lives today. Lastly, history helps us all learn to not make the same mistakes that were made in the past. These are just three of the reasons I can’t wait for history class.
