independent study.

     I love to learn. In the curriculum my school uses, we read books and briefly study the author and the time in which he or she lived. History fascinates me. Culture fascinates me. I love learning about people from the past. I love establishing a timeline in my head. I love to be aware of what brought the world to where it is today, and who helped it along.

     So I have decided to embark on a little bit of personal study. Studying people/books in school is all very good until you move on to the next book. There is just not enough time in the school year to read all of the assigned books and STILL LEARN AAALLLLL THE THINGS!!!!

     I don't know exactly how this will work, but I'm thinking I'll find someone who fascinates me first. Then I will spend an allotted amount of time (this is independent, on top of all my other school work) to learn about them and the world they lived in. They could be from any time period and any place. Sometimes I might choose to study someone from the present (a politician, for example). I might also study events sometimes.

     I will then put together some sort of brief presentation on this person/event, and maybe somehow put it up here on this little blog. If you all are interested in seeing something like that, let me know in the comments section. :)

     I'm excited to see how this will work! I have been thinking about this for awhile now and I am ready to start learning!
