I've always loved learning about new and different cultures, so it isn't the subject itself that poses the challenge, but my lack of organizational and time management skills.

I can, with relative ease, find common ground with Texas Pioneers. The same applies to the settlers of the thirteen individual colonies and planters or poor farmers in the Old South. An ancient Monarch and his subjects aroused little sympathy and few feelings of kinship in men. Since for me the study of history is very personal, this presents somewhat of a difficulty. Though I don’t expect my preferred time periods to change, I do anticipate that through the help of my instructor and fellow classmates, my horizons will be expanded.
