History is the actions that have been created in the past by people. We have learned that people can continue to do the right thing because of history.

A place does not require a time machine or futuristic technology to transport us to another time, but can do so in the blink of an eye. The smallest, most unassuming details allow us to relive a moment, in a sense, through the sounds of a particular place. Place is a non-physical space rooted in memory and interpreted by sound which allows a person to recall their past, reflect on the…
Milestones in the Future That Will Affect Where I will be in the Future When I think about milestones in my life, I have to think about my past milestones because they are what build my character to the person I am today.
