I like learning about American history and World history. My favorite part of history was learning about the different battles of the Civil War, like the Battle of Vicksburg, which was when the Union went to capture the Mississippi River to cut the Confederacy in half basically because it was separated by the river. My other favorite part was learning about the Battle of Yorktown in the Revolutionary War when General Cornwallis surrendered to end the Revolutionary War.
Do you want to study or use history in a future career?
I’m not 100 percent sure what I want to be when I grow up. My dream, as of right now, is to go to MIT. It’s not super far away from Virginia. It’s in Boston, which is a pretty nice place I’ve heard. They offer a lot of majors that I’m kind of interested in, like my favorite subject science. I like learning about different kinds of elements and how they react to other elements. In fourth grade, I actually did the STEM program with some other people and we made a robot. After that I was like: Whoa! This is pretty cool!
