Historiography

"One misconception about historical study is that it is merely a string of facts, meanigless dates, and the names of often long-dead individuals, with little relevance to our lives and the times. Nothing could be firther from the truth."- Mark Epstein

History has influenced me in ways far beyond my imagine. Mr. Smith, my AP History teacher, has been the most influential person in my life. He's challanged me, to challenge myself. Maybe sometimes I don't give him the respect he deserves, and many of us don't. But he undoubtably has helped me grow in the last 2 years.

I'm not here to seek anyone's response or to offend anyone's beliefs. I write for myself.
But as a forewarning to all, as I challenge myself, you will be challenged even more.
Some posts may be controversial, and others may be more on a personal level.
Either way, this is my way to vent.
