Hellooo Everyone!

This is my first time blogging, so just try to bear with me while I get into the swing of things. That being said, writing is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m really looking forward to using an outlet like this to express my thoughts and hear some feedback from all of you guys out there.

One of my greatest passions is history, which is why I chose to entitle my Passion Blog, “History is Happening”. (And yes, for all of you Hamilton musical fanatics out there, the title of my blog is the first of many references to the iconic Broadway musical.)

Look around, look around (what do you know, another reference) in today’s society, and you will surely see the incontestable emphasis that our education system places on taking courses involving Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Although it’s obvious that those fields are imminent to society’s overall development, I feel that a significant number of people have become oblivious, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to the importance of history in their daily lives. History is what built our society into what it has become, and it involves every aspect of life as we know it.

So here’s the plan: I will determine the current date, research a few events that occurred on that exact day at some point throughout history, briefly describe the event(s), and relate the summary to contemporary things happening today.

Basically, my purpose in writing “History is Happening” is just to shed some light on the past events we may have forgotten, but that have truly molded our world into what it has become today.

Days aren’t just empty blocks on a calendar. They’re time capsules that hold the precious memories we can’t afford to bury.

For all you history buffs, get ready. This is right up your alley.

As for the rest of you, stay tuned, because you’re going to learn so much about the days we too often take for granted.

Feel free to comment; share your opinions, experiences, thoughts, suggestions — anything!

Free speech is one of the amazing things that the men and women of days gone by have given to us, and I’m not throwing away my shot to share my passion for history with all of you. (No apologies for all the Ham references. You’ll get used to it.)
