I Never Would Have Thought I Would Love History

When I was at school the subjects seemed so boring, I'm sure it was the teachers' fault. They just didn't make things interesting. I hated both geography and history at school, but love them both now.

I love history, but I hated to remember all the dates.

History was my worst subject in school. It never caught my attention

I'm so much more interested in history now than I was as a kid.

I use to love history when I was home in France. But then when I had to go to school in the US it seemed so different. I didn't much care for this subject at all. But my all time favorite subject was math. I loved this and art.

History certainly has become more meaningful to me over the years. I passed it once in two years but that was for the final exam when it counted most.

Yes I do love history subject. I always get perfect score in that subject.

I love history - as a re-enactor my favourite era is undoubtedly the Stuart Civil War period of the mid 17th century

I don't like the history because the history need to remember a lot of things. China have about 5000 years history. But I have a poor memories . I ofter mixed of some date, event or something wrong ....

I liked History a lot in school . It was always the most interesting subject. Math was my worst subject.

I love the history now when I am visiting the museums of Singapore. But history in school that I need to memorize dates and names.. oh my! Bloody! Hahhaa!

History is far and away my favorite subject. (My postgraduate degrees are History majors) So much of it seems to be taught badly though - no wonder you didn't care for it if you were pressured into memorizing stuff.

I love history, but I always did. I did not enjoy studying it in elementary school. I think that is mostly because they barely skimmed the surface. It was dumbed down history, that they thought kids could handle. I did always enjoy reading books about history. I guess my favorite part is the California gold rush.

I love History and I don't like math - I only loved Math once because our teacher was really awesome! but still i am poor with numbers :) I love biology too! I did not like chemistry and Physics - I think having a teacher who knows how to make lecture interesting is a huge factor.

I have always found history to be fascinating. I am sure there is a perfect era for me, I just haven't found it yet.

I like history, but I do not like examination. I think the stress of facing tests and examinations take the joy out of learning. When I read about history, I try to imagine the real persons living, and why they made choices as they had.

I didn't like history, math, or science (I loved English) but I think it depends on the teacher. Like I took a Geology class last winter/spring semester and I only liked the last part where we went on field trips, I hated the lecture and lab, I didn't understand it. This semester, I am taking Geology I (I had to take 2 science classes for my degree) and I absolutely LOVE this class. My instructor is so funny and so helpful, I can't imagine trying to learn these terms with the previous teacher. As for history, I did take one history class, American history, It was okay, my favorite part is when we studied the Greenville Treaty and I found out during that time that a friend who owns 80 acres, that part of her land was where they signed this treaty. I took pictures and shared with my teacher, she was excited to see the pictures.

I love history and of course now the emphasis is on understanding the events not memorizing dates. Much more interesting. I love English History the most but any European or American is interesting to me.

I hated history in school but not anymore.. I enjoying going to places and learning stuff naturally.

@simone10,My love for history began years ago when I chanced to read an article about the history of Delhi in a reputed Hindi magazine.It was written in the form of a very interesting story.Since then I began loving history.
