    History is a living entity, suffused with generations of stories and experiences. The simple act of digging in my garden can unearth untold treasures and reveal new and exciting eras of the past. One particular item which holds immense interest for me is a piece of shrapnel I found, which was perhaps part of a bomb during the Clydebank Blitz. By delving into the history of this seemingly unimportant metal shard, at my local library and Blitz exhibition, I realised that it told a story of part of

    When I first moved to Manhattan from my small hometown I never imagined that history would become one of the most important aspects of my life. For a large portion of my life my aspiration was to dance at the School of American Ballet, and become one of the famous faces that roam its halls. In fact, I was so desperate to follow my families footsteps ( both my parents and my brother were professional dancers) that I made a conscious decision to train away from home, fore-fitting most high school activities

It informs us that the narrator is from New York, and indicates that she isn’t there at the moment. The setting of this dialogue

    Personal History Becoming a counselor was not my first choice career. I have a vivid memory from my childhood, I am unsure at which age, I was coloring an activity worksheet where you were supposed to circle and color what you wanted to be when you grew up. I don’t remember what I chose, but I remember that I circled almost every profession on that coloring sheet. My college career started very similar to that worksheet; I wanted to pursue so many different fields of study that at one point I had
