Sometimes we think of history as the boring subject we had to take in school.\u00a0 We had to remember all of those dates and names of people who we have never met.\u00a0 But history is more than that.\u00a0 History is alive!\u00a0 What is happening today is tomorrow\u2019s history.\u00a0 We need to capture today so that those who come after us will see our footsteps. If you look at history from this perspective, whose footsteps are we following?\u00a0 Who will follow ours?<\/p>\n
