  3. The first thing that comes into my mind is the world wars, all that destruction and lives that were lost. Mostly because I am very interested in wars, so the world wars really click into my mind. I am excited to learn about earlier times that we're going to learn about in 151.

  19. I think of stories. I like it better when history is taught as a story instead of names and dates. It makes it seem more real and interesting.

  27. WAAA-HOOO! History wasn't always something I enjoyed, but after begining a personal quest to just become a more well rounded person I can't get enough of it. What got me really going for history was when I learned of Memmit the Conquer taking Constantinople after having his men carry warships over a freaking mountain!!!!! Oh history you got me with that one.
