Other essential information

No prerequisites.

I chose to take History as it is exciting, insightful and looks at the bigger picture in significant world events. History dives deeper into cases and comprehensively analyses how it was symbolic at the time as well as in the present day too. I enjoy History as it entitles me to have my own opinion, I can share my own perspectives towards a vast range of events as it opens my eyes to the understanding of the world.
