The importance of our history. Recently, the number of kids asking why they should learn about history is increasing, they think "What’s the point of know what happened hundred and hundred of years ago?"; "History is so boring, you just memorize dates, names and places and forget all of them after the exam, such a wast of time". Well, maybe is true that remember a bunch of names of people who I do not care and memorize all the dates could be tedious. However, that is not the point of learning history. You could forget all the the names that you had memorized for the exam, you could forget the exactly date when that war happened, but you must not dismiss from you mind why that occurred, what we lost and what we won. We have history for learn from it, to not repeat our mistakes, to be proud of our achievements. Why could not just negate our past as if nothing had happened, that would be a waste. Also we must remember that we are now what we are because of our past, to understand the present you must see what happened before, if we do not know what happened before, we have the risk of repeat past errors. We should never forget the lessons that our ancestors leaved to us and use them to make a better word.
