Hey, my name is Micah Bolin. I am a junior and I am studying American history and pre-law major. My journey to decide on my major started in high school. I played basketball for much of my life and wanted to keep basketball a main focus on in my life. I chose in high school I wanted to be a high school coach and teach in my favorite subject, which was history. But my idea for my life changed after working for a friend of mine's dad who is an attorney. We discussed life and everything in between, so I soon decided that I too wanted to attend law school. History continued to be my major because I am facinated with the facts behind everything. Everything has a story, and history tells that story. The reason I chose this class is pretty simple. It seems that World War I was a major event that took place but is looked over in a lot of aspects of "modern" history. It seems that WWI changed how wars were fought, how governments dealt with each other, and change the homefront during wars. I took this class to gain a better understanding of those three points because they are in a way looked over when dealing with common history. I am excited to hear the discussions that will happen this semester and learn from everyone in the class.
