There are people in our lives who play a pivotal role, impacted who we are and the direction we’re going. For me, that person was my grandpa, Jim. A history enthusiast himself, he regularly indulged in the resources available and expanded his own understanding and passion for the past. I would often join him on the living room couch while he watched a history program.
It was during one of these small moments in my past that ignited my own passion for history that grew with each passing year. I was six years old and we were watching a program about World War One. He explained this event in terms my young mind could comprehend, and from that day, I was hooked on history.
I think he knew in that moment, there was an opportunity for a small spark, though he may not have known just how much it would impact me at the time. My history with History began with him, and I am so thankful.
