 Example of essays
The definition of history is different for every person. The webster ‘s dictionary defines history as the study
of the past , and I don’t think there is any better way to put it.
The united states of America has a lot history since the time it was founded. Everything is a part of history
everyday, whether you know it or not . The war that is happening is the middle East is history in the making future
generations will learn about things such as, what happened on september 11th and the war that is taking place
right this second.
By being taught history and the events the events that look place long ago it helps us to learn . We learn
from the good and learn not to make the same mistakes twice. If everyone wasn’t knowledgeable about our
country’s history it could repeat itself.
I think that it is important to learn and know your countries history to be considered a true citizen. I
believe history is very important and should never be forgotten.
Everyone should want to know their history and where they came from. History tells you not only where
you came from, but even more. History shows you how things have grown to change over the years whether good
or bad. Some time periods it history we would like to forget because of how awful they were, but those times are
some of the most important times to learn from.
History is like a never- ending story of the past, present, and the times to come. History wont’t just stop
with your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on, it goes on until the end of time.
I believe history should be taken very seriously. I think It is good that United States history is a required
class in order to gradute. It really enjoy learning about history and I hope to continue learning in the future.
