History is SO IMPORTANT and FASCINATING! People have done some crazy things, and some crazy awesome things! I always loved learning about history as a young kid - but I thought I wasn't very good at it because I couldn't remember every date that everything happened. In college I learned that the dates were not as important as the life lessons we can learn through STORIES! I love history stories and I love teaching them in a way we can apply them to our lives. I am so glad you are here deciding if this course is right for you! If you are ready to learn history while being inspired to do good and improve your own life, you are in the right place!
