I went to the Museum of Natural History and I found the entire experience to be quite cathartic. I felt as if I walked back into history and could actually imagine how life was in a different time. It really was so beautiful.
After that experience, I decided that I had to design my encounter with history because too often one doesn’t know she is living in a period that will be studied for generations to come.
I pulled out several maps and thought about which places I would like to go to make myself be a part of everything going on. Obviously I had a map of United States. With the election this year, I, along with everyone else, am witnessing history.
I also got my map of Russia because Vladimir Putin stepped down as President and is now Prime Minister. I think that Russia is only going to get stronger and become a real force once again.
And I got out several Texas maps. I know that the state of Texas does not seem to historically significant right now but with the polygamy cases going on right now, I think that what happens there will affect all of us and our rights.
Overall, my experience at the Natural History Museum was great. And I learned a lot of the past, present and where I think the future of history is.
