Fears - my family dying (pets included)
Annoyances - kids, rabbits chewing on my things, injuries
Accomplishments - Frisbee Club Captain, having friends that like me, jumping through my leg
Confusions - why history, in-depth, is important (we can just use broad ideas so we don't repeat it)
Sorrows - I have no regrets or things I am unhappy about
Dreams - be an aerospace engineer, drive a car over 200 mph, fly
Idiosyncrasies - listening to music, driving, video games
Risks - flying a plane, stealing our car
Beloved Possessions - Dog (my rabbit who is her own free animal in my heart, but I own her legally) (now), my g-shock watch (it got stolen) (then)
Problems - too little time
In some of my previous blog posts I've talked about my love of math and why I want to go into a field involving math and science in college. I've always been good at math and science, but one subject I have almost always hated is history. No matter what history class, weather it be world history, US history, or anything else, I've always hated it. I have never really understood the point of putting so much effort into history and why anybody needs to know the exact dates or names of significant historical events. I do understand the emphasis on understanding our past mistakes in civilizations and knowing to not make them again but I don't need to know exact dates to know I shouldn't kill Jewish people. It seems monotonous and useless. History has always been my worst subject because I really don't see the point. I don't mind if people enjoy it and want to keep records of the past but it does not make sense as a core "important" subject over something that could be much more valuable to the majority of students. I don't think I will ever really understand what compels people to put so much emphasis on knowing our past, it doesn't matter, we are in the future now.
