Hello all! My name is Michelle and I'm 24 yrs old. As of now, I am just waiting to get into a nursing program. This will be my second year trying and obviously, this time, I hope I get in. While I'm not fretting about that, I like to hang out with my friends, go to baseball games, shop, watch sports, ride my bike, go to the gym or hang out with my puppy. I've been with my boyfriend for almost five years. Oh and I'm a big Los Angeles Dodgers fan =)
I'm taking this class in addition to History 17B so I can have something to show for the four years I've been at Sierra (an AA degree) heheh Plus, history used to be one of my favorite subjects in high school; in fact, my first major I ever decided on was to become a history professor. With my 9-5 job, it's hard to take a traditional class so online was a good choice. I've only taken one online class before and at first, I struggled but as the time went by, it got a lot easier. I learned that I have to be doubly dedicated to being focused and remembering to manage my time better so I can get my assignments done without cramming at the last minute.
I hope to learn more about how and where our country came from. I haven't taken a US history class since the beginning of high school and have honestly forgotten a lot of exact information. Although, I have a strange inkling that I'm not alone on that one in this country. To see where we're going as a country, it's always a good thing to see where we've been.
