I heard some birds cry off in the distance as the trees swayed with a light breeze. I had been walking for about five minutes when I started to hear the trickling of the river, and then he river came into view. I love walking in the river’s clear blue waters. You can see little fish swimming among the rocks and plants,…

If there has ever been one subject in school that I can confidently say has always intrigued me, it would have to be History. It’s all too common that people are not interested in history because of the laborious dates, mass amounts of information, or even the conflicting opinions.
