Hi everyone!
I feel very blessed to be apart of this school. This will be our first year together and I’m really looking forward to getting to know all of you. Everyone has his or her own story and history, which makes one who he or she is today. Our past is what motivates our choices in life. The people that came before us were also driven by events in their lives. Although many things have changed between the past and the present, this remains true. For me, history has always been about learning empathy and discovering commonalities between people. I think learning to see from another point of view is one of the most important skills you can acquire. When we see through the eyes of others, we can treat them better. History isn’t just a list of facts, it’s present in our day to day lives. It’s the reason I chose to get my Bachelors in history and my Masters in teaching it. But I’m not the only one that will be teaching this year. I believe in learning from our peers. So, students, be ready to teach. We have so much to learn from one another this year!
