LAST POST!

wow! today was our final class of u.s. history. we finished up the year watching a movie called thirteen days about the cuban missile crisis. to me we ended the year with this movie because we started the year off talking about sympathy versus empathy and this movie definitely has a lot in it. the movie shows how hard it is to know what action to take and that sometimes there is no clear answer you just have to take a leap of faith. this year we have covered so many topics that the five remaining minutes of this class are not near enough to write them all down. from talking about slavery and the civil war to learning how the climate changing is going to affect us all in the future, it has been one amazing class. i started this year knowing very little of america's history and (while i still am not the best at history) i can say i feel confident enough to go out and chime in conversations regarding what i have studied. it was nice getting to learn about history through films and documentaries as well as reading old newspapers and giving speeches. i was worried about this course when i signed up but i can honestly say i wouldn't change a thing.
