    The Colorado History Museum was a phenomenal place to visit; it felt life like from being in my Colorado History class in college as well as in my high school ones. I had the ability to see what it was like living in Keota, as well as being a huge size person walking around the Denver area, and lastly saw a few pieces of clothing that were the Native Americans during Bent’s Fort. Every detail in the museum I tried paying attention too, because I did not want to miss anything. The first display I

    My history grade was a solid A, my math grade on the other hand was a C-. It wasn’t till the end of the second week that I had realized that there was a possibility I would not pass or make it on the final trip.

    I have a history with existential depression, and severe anxiety. I've had it for two thirds of my life, and I don't believe it's going away anytime soon. I don't think my anxiety is a problem, as a matter of fact I prefer the terms rightful paranoia. There are a lot of ways the world can go wrong, for example nuclear war.

    The biggest failure I experienced was back during my Sophomore year. The hardest class in the high school was AP World History in which the requirements were hours of homework a night. Many people tried to convince me not to take the course due to the fact that it is considered the hardest class in the high school. My mom tried her hardest to try and persuade me to take a different class but I felt that it was a requirement for me to take it to prove to the colleges that I was up for the task and

    are away, so please just listen to what I ask of you. After two long years of babysitting, I had decided I really did not like kids, that I would never have any of my own. But when I turned fifteen, I regretted ever saying that, seeing as my family history was about to catch up to me. I always knew there was something “off” when it came to genetics in my family.

    What is history? In my opinion, anything that I did and happened in the past, or am doing right now, will be history. For example, on October 6, 2011, something traumatic happened. Both of my biological parents passed away leaving my siblings and I as orphans. However, an amazing family took us in and adopted all of us. Although the adoption process took ages to complete, my siblings and I were very joyful when the time came for us to be legally adopted. My life in this instance was forever changed
