"History has changed and enlightened my perspective on the world because I am able to think critically, problem solve and be empathetic. History is about studying the changes in society and how the past has shaped and continues to shape the world in which we live today. When delving into history, you examine the competing sources, analyzing and explaining the problems in the past in order to see the patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present, thus providing a perspective for understanding and solving future and current problems. Furthermore, history allows me to be empathetic because it allows me to appreciate the diverse human experience, culture, ideas, and traditions that are not my own. History allows me to see the differences and similarities of my ancestors and where I come from. As my world history professor told me, all history is connected and we are a human web." - Mimi Yaldram
