Western Civilizations Final Question 10 -Do you feel like you've learned something this year?

I most definitely feel like I've learned something over this past semester. In fact, I've learned much more than just "something." To be honest, social studies has always been one of my favorite subjects, even as a little kid. History and the way people interacted and things like that have always fascinated me. Being able to study things I was already interested in was great, and I learned so much more than I had in the past with these topics. Before, when I had lessons on people like Alexander the Great, the details were very vague, and even after two weeks of studying him, I had no idea who this man was. I knew he ran around Europe and Asia with a giant army and practically conquered the whole world, but I didn't know who he was as a person until this year. Now, to me, his life seems much more exciting. He dealt with insanity, alcoholism, sexual conflict, issues with his family, and so much more on top of all of the conventional things he did. And every topic we studied this semester was like that. I really feel like I can walk away from this class, knowing so much more than I did in January. And the best part is that not only did I learn all of that on those topics, but now I know where to go to find even more information if I'm ever just feeling curious. I really feel like  I got a lot out of this class over the past semester. Thank you for that.
