Q. I totally suck at history. And I want some reasons or motivations to learn history. I'm taking this US history college class and I think I'm going to flunk it. I kind of need to pass the class. Is it worth it? I mean history lovers. Write about your passion in history and why?
Everytime I read something about history my head hurts and start to get dizzy (only at history class). Words such as war, governement, politcs, presidents bore the hell out of me.
Motivate me, and motivate others.

A. Yes, it is definitely worth it. I am passionate about history and I do agree that basic US history is pretty boring because you are basically learning the same information you learned in high school. However, I loved alternative history classes like Women in American History, a two part class that focused on women's issues and history, Material Culture, where I learned about history through objects like clothing, silverware and tombstones- what can the objects of the past tell us? I am passionate about the subject because of these, and many other alternative history classes that I took because I learned history from a new perspective and learned about what I was interested in. Also, the research papers I was required to write for the classes allowed me to focus on such neat topics as using objects like tattoo needles and sea chests to explain how the average seaman lived on a whaling vessel between 1820-1840 and how Queen Victoria contributed to Victorian mourning practices.
It is very important to learn about our country's history so that you can know how the past affects the present. I would suggest that you find a history class that interests you. There are so many types of history classes available- ancient, women's, military, gender studies, film (I took a class on Oliver Stone and his version of the Cold War- I got to watch movies in class and learn about the Cold War!), material, ethnic history like African-American, era-specific (Colonial, Revolutionary War, Victorian), geographic (French, Mexican, etc.), social (LGBT, Vietnam War-era counterculture), etc.
Don't let a boring US history class ruin history for you- explore your options (as well as your College's/University's course catalog) before you give up the subject. Read books about the history of unconventional subjects- I just finished a history of the New World told through stories about ten different rum drinks!
