Everyday that goes by, history is made- by you!.
What does this mean? Well, history is just what we choose to remember about the past. What did you eat for breakfast this morning? What did you do yesterday after school? When you remember these events, and think about all the memories you have inside your mind, you are looking back into the past and choosing to remember some of the events that took place. There surely is a lot to remember. That is why our community works together to help remember the past- through stories told before we go to bed, movies we watch, and books we read.
