When I was young, I hated my History subject because of the never-ending memorization of historical dates and events. It doesn’t matter anymore. I began to pay attention to history as time passed by. I’m not an expert – I still couldn’t remember the exact dates, but I learn more each day.
I know that all of history is important, but the one that breaks my heart the most is the sufferings and stories of the people during the Second World War. We went to visit the only concentration camp that was in France. As soon as we entered the barbed, wooden gates, I felt my heart wrenching in pain. I didn’t want to eat after. I felt so bad.
