History

Traveling is fun and interesting. You will learn the history of the place or the events that took place there. When we had our field trip in the museums in Manila, I have learned the essence of taking History 1 as a subject in college. Just by looking and examining the different artifacts in the museum, you will not understand them unless you have read or heard about it. In elementary and high school, the teachings in History subjects are not that enough since some of those teachings are just meant for memorizing, afterwards you will forget about them. But when you analyze and understand the occurrence, you will learn many things by heart that you will still remember them in the future. Also, in our History 1, I learned how to dig in beneath the issues, asking yourself how and why did these things happen, or how those events affect us in this present generation... Before, I was hesitant to take History 1 because many are saying that you have to memorize a lot of things in that subject. Yet my teacher proved them wrong! As a Filipino, it is essential to know and learn more about our history. As a student, now is your chance to make that happen!
