History 125: World History 1 (Spring)

After struggling through History 125 during my first semester, I was terrified to attempt the class again. I began the semester worrying that I was not a good historian like I always thought I was. with this mindset, I began to receive bad grades once again. I believed I really was a failure. After we left Longwood because of the pandemic, I decided to dedicate myself to not giving up on History 125. Although I only raised my grade to a C, I was still able to be proud of myself because I chose not to give up. History 125 challenged me not to let one failed attempt dring me down and reminded me that if I never try, I never have to opportunity to succeed.
