History is both fascinating, and vital for our future. Not only does history bring us a wealth of stories and events from the past, but it provides the experience and vital knowledge that will help us develop a sound future for generations to come. These are bold statements for any subject, but such is my firm belief in understanding the rich lessons that history has to teach us I can say it with conviction. 对于我们的未来历史是迷人的和至关重要的。不仅是历史从过去的事件给我们带来的财富故事，而且提供了经验和重要的知识并帮助我们世世代代的发展。这些是任何主题的大胆的声明，这就是我对这门丰富的课程的理解，我可以坚定的说历史已经教会我们。 When I was a youngster I was fascinated by the programmes we would watch in school about how people lived during the early 20th century, the Romans and various elements of the monarchy. At the time they were as much reality as watching any other Hollywood tale, but that fact we were hearing these stories in school was much more appealing than mathematics. As I grew up and realised that these incredible stories of bravery, battle, love and disaster were in fact reality my interest continued to grow to a point where I could never get enough. While the school syllabus would give an overview of the Second World War, I would be busy at home scouring through books, television and later on the internet for as much extra information as possible. I found myself to be driven in this particular subject more so than any other. 当我还年轻的时候我很着迷于我们在学校看的关于人们如何生活在第二十世纪早期的节目，罗马人和君主政体的各种元素。当时他们都尽可能多的看其他好莱坞的现实的故事，但实际上我们在学校听到这些故事比数学有更大的吸引力。当我长大了，意识到这些令人难以置信的勇敢的事迹，战争，爱情和灾难是真正让我的兴趣继续增长并且我永远无法得到满足。而学校的课程给了我对第二次世界大战的回顾，我在家里尽可能的通过电视和书籍还有互联网来了解更多的讯息。我发现自己对这门课程的投入远远多于其他课程。 After completing my GCSEs at secondary school, in which I achieved top marks in history, I had no doubt which path my studies were going to follow when I moved into further education. History was my first choice when it came to selecting A-Levels, and I also opted to study classics and English. As with my GCSEs I found no difficulty supplementing my studies outside of the classroom, and was fortunate enough to visit many sites of historical interest in Rome, Jerusalem, London, France and North Africa during my time at college. I decided to spend my two week work experience placement with the local museum, and it was here that I really started developing an understanding between the devotion to collecting artefacts and learning about the past, and the need to interpret and understand history in order to ensure any mistakes can be used as an advantage for future generations to avoid. The dedication of some of the historians and curators I have spent time with in recent years has astounded me, and made me understand these are professions for people with a real passion about history. It was not difficult for me to relate to this driving passion for history and I am adamant my future will revolve around studying the past in one way or another. I believe history is an incredible subject to study with as much rich diversity and complexity to rival any other topic. I am an extremely motivated individual and am keen to take on the challenge of studying history at the highest possible level. |
