My name is Tamara Martin. I am studying at Thompson Rivers University (TRU), taking a class on the introduction into Canadian history to become a teacher. I want to achieve a high GPA, and be able to study abroad. My career goal is to become a full time elementary school teacher. I think that history is of great importance to our present and future minds of learning. History is an inspiration to the events that happen today and a different perspective to people who should learn that things will always change. What history means to me is it teaches use to change for the better and to learn from the worst. History is the facts of time before us. It is knowledge of past events that happened in times before now and explain how things came to be. History is the reason we are all here today and I would like to talk about my connection to history throughout this blog.
