3B History...Boring to Some, Interesting to Me!

 

U.S. History, it has absolutely nothing to do with sports management, but it has always been a subject that I enjoy and want to learn more about. It is strange because I have taken other history courses, and yes they all have their interesting points, but it has always been U.S. History that just stuck with me. I think what motivates me to do well in this course is because I am learning about the reasons that brought us to where we are today. Think about, if Thomas Jefferson never purchased the territory from the French in 1803, we would have never gotten Louisiana. History motivates me to learn more about it because you’re not only learning what  others before us sacrificed so we can be where we are in the world now, but also it is just about giving credit to those who fought for what they loved and believed in.

I know that not every subject I take is going to be appealing to me, but I can use what motivates me in U.S. History to help motivate me in my other courses. I believe that you can channel the courses that interest you into the courses that don’t. I am not a science person, and if I was taking a chemistry class, I would put my love for history into that class, meaning I would research the scientists who came up with certain theories and formulas, and when comes time to apply those formulas in my head I would be thinking about the scientists and where we would be if not for them, while I was doing the problem. I know it may sound like a lot going through your head while you’re trying to get the work done, but I think it would help me do better in the class.

When it comes to the courses you take in college and your future, I think we can all be motivated to do well in areas that we don’t find easy to us if we just channel what we love into everything that we do, and intern that will help us to become more motivated.
