Why I took this course - I would like to expand my knowledge and overall understanding of U.S. history, and the factors that have shaped this country over the years. I am interested in learning more about the truth of United States history, with the injustices and struggles that shape culture throughout.

Something I've done - Went on a global leadership program in which I had the opportunity of giving care packages to the local Hawaiian community that struggled with loss as a result of the fires, as well as learning about their culture and history.

Hey everyone, my name is Nathan. I also go by Nate, no preferences at all! My email is guten@mail.lcc.edu. I majored in Aviation Flight Science at Western Michigan University, graduating last year. I am currently studying for a certificate in Spanish here at LCC and have spent a total of almost 6 years in college. I took this course because I was looking for another class to take next to Spanish. I have always had a deep love for history. When I saw this class I knew it was something I had to take because I did not know much about this period of American history. I have always run with the thought that history will repeat itself if history is forgotten. Something that is unique about me that maybe no one else in class has done is that I am a FAA-licensed Certified Flight Instructor. I pride myself on furthering education and doing the best job I can to provide a good learning experience and provide new knowledge to my students.

I am majoring in human services and am still trying to narrow down which direction I want to go with that! I have been in college for a little over a year now. I took this course because it was required, but also because history has always interested me; it's always been a class I did well on in high school. One thing that I have done that I don't think anyone else in the class has done was get a picture with Ross Lynch, he played the main role in a Disney show called Austin and Ally and now has a band with his brothers that I really enjoy!

One thing that I have done that I think most people haven't is that I went on a study abroad trip to Germany and got to go to school and experience everyday life as they do.

Hey there. Name's Gabriel. You can call me Gabe or Gabriel, whicever you prefer. I'm currently going fro a general ed degree though we will see if that changes in the near future.

The reason I took this class was to boost my GPA and because it seems like an interesting subject to review and dive into. Though I should not I'm only on my first year.

I currently work in a Catering Company a couple blocks down from the Downtown LCC location, and honestly I just hope I don't fail this class. Thank you.

No email included because it isn't really necessary since I have my LCC Email locked and loaded

major: Allied Health- transfer to MSU in spring for Biochemistry.

3 years of college

I took this course because it was the most interesting of the History classes offered that I needed to satisfy the transfer requirement. I am excited to look at American history through a different lens and gain a better understanding of things Ive always just memorized random facts about.

I am probably not the only person to ever accomplish this, but, early in the spring semester, I came down with Guillain-Barre syndrome. The odds are about 1:100,000 and I was hospitalized and unable to move for about three weeks. I spent the majority of the time in intensive inpatient physical rehab learning how to walk and do mundane day to day tasks. I had physical and occupational therapy, each, twice a day, every day and continued twice a week for both the duration of the semester. When I returned to campus, I was caught up by spring break in all of my courses and achieved 4.0 in all but one class, which I missed by a percentage point.

Hi everyone!

My name is Nour Almosawy, and Nour is my preferred name. My email is almosawn@mail.lcc.edu.

I am currently taking classes at Lansing Community College this summer, and in the fall I will be attending Michigan State University. My major is Pre-Law with a minor in Business Law. I have been in college for about two years.

I decided to take this history course because it fulfills a degree requirement and because I think understanding history helps explain many of the issues and events we see in the world today.

One thing I have done that I think may be unique is that I am working toward applying for Michigan State University’s 3+3 Law Program, which would allow me to begin law school before completing the traditional four years of undergraduate study.

I look forward to getting to know everyone and having a great semester!

Hi my name is Davon but I equally go by Shack as well. My email is shackled@lccnet.edu. My major is general studies within the art, science, and letters college. This is just my second semester at LCC. I took this course because I love history although discussing it and reliving it in a sense is not fun. History is very serious, its often used by those power as a tool to maintain power or suppress those who dont. I know the one thing I did that none of my classmates did was going to the capital of China- Beijing and danced myself soaking wet in a night club. Overall I visited 3 cities in China.
