History is very interactive and requires creative and attentive thinking to connect why and how occurrences took place the way they did. For instance, I did not fully understand why the Americans revolutionized against the British until I viewed their struggle from the perspective of an oppressed and unfairly treated individual whose voice was not being heard. I used my personal experiences of unfair treatment to understand their situation.
My love for history has also motivated me to take honors and AP courses.
