What is my comment for the Socials studies subject?
​​
In 8th grade, we spent a month or so on social studies in humanities. I liked it because I always loved history and learning about governments. It made me learn about the past and how everything happened. It made me curious, so I started digging into different historical events and cultures. i wanted to know how they made the world to be what it is now. In addition, I realized the world is super complex, with a lot stories all mixed together. Every little thing that happened in the past matters, and it all makes up to the story of humans. Overall, learning social studies in 8th grade really influenced me. It made me realize how much the past affects us. Every event feels connected. It made me want to keep learning more. Now I’m actually excited to explore history and see how it all adds up to the world we have today.
