In my opinion history is one of the most important subjects at school. Many kids argue that why should we learn about what happened in the past, but every event that has happened anytime before this minute has brought us to where we are today. History has opened as it might have closed opportunities for us. For example, in my families history thank to my grandmother who was brave enough to immigrate to the United States to give her children a better life I have the chance to have a good education and be bilingual. If my grandmother would have stayed in Guatemala I would not even have any kind of chance to attend a college here or in Guatemala. So my history has brought me to where i am now and the same way happened with the history of this country and any other country. Whatever happened before has brought it to where it is today and student should have that knowledge of  the past events of the world which have helped us come to this point in the world.
