The General Schedule

-

Welcome back! This week's topic is the schedule that I will be following when I post. I have decided that last week's post, and this week's as well are "unofficial" posts. My official posts will start off next week when I began following my organized procedure. This will be easier for my readers to follow each week. I will write on three assigned topics each month, and I'll write something regarding the miscellaneous section on the spare weeks. So, let's jump right in!
  • World History (1st Monday): My first topic is over World History. George Santayana said, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." And that has certainly been the case in history. In World War II, Adolf Hitler made the same mistake as Napoleon Bonaparte, men have attempted to establish world peace through political methods countless times, and everyone has heard of prevention of war by diplomacy. History is essential to avoiding the mistakes of the past, and making the best decisions in the future. Sadly, it has been replaced in many schools with Social studies, the art of getting along with society. Social studies echoes the motto of uniformitarianism: "The present is the key to the past." But that is incorrect; it is the past that can be the key to the present and ultimately, the future, if we choose to use it. I will be following the chronology presented in A Beka Book's 10th grade textbook, World History and Cultures. Scientific discoveries, various philosophies, and technological advancements will also be discussed.
  • World Geography (2nd Monday): If after reading the paragraph over World History, you were thinking, "Wow, this is a very boring blog," geography is a topic that appeals to all audiences. Geography not only studies landforms, cartography, topography, climates, and navigation; but it includes culture as well. After all, it would be very difficult to travel without knowing any culture (including landmarks) of your vacation site. Geography also aids history in understanding the happenings of the world by providing insight into cultures and locations. I will be following the guidelines of World Geography, A Beka Book's 9th grade textbook.
  • Literature (3rd Monday): Besides being a popular hobby for many, literature assists historical studies by providing the worldview or philosophy of a particular era. Literature can also present moral truths (correctly or incorrectly) and can give people an understanding of human nature. Literature is a mirror of its author. Each work of literature should be compared to the greatest classic of all: the Bible, God's holy, inerrant, and eternal Word.
  • Miscellaneous (Extra Mondays): I will choose a miscellaneous topic to write about. Comment below about what you as the reader would like me to post about.
Before I close, I'd like to share a Bible verse. Proverbs 16:9 says: "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." This verse explains that although we may have a "perfect" idea of our future, God is ultimately in control, and that it is His plan that shall be accomplished. This verse gives us hope for the Christian; We can trust that God establishes the best plan for our lives.

Central Texas: A Writing Vacation

-
Image
  Welcome back to my blog. Today's article is about my writing/school/regular vacation to Texas. My family took a trip to the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas to visit relatives in early fall. This was a school vacation because I still had to spend time on vacation to write my essay and read my homework for the U.S. History college class I was taking. The vacation put a lot less stress on my schedule because I had a good amount of time on my hands to write my first college essay. It was terrifying at first, but I did well on it so that was a relief. This trip was also a writing vacation because Texas is a crucial part of research for a novel I have been writing. I needed two different areas of the country to use as a setting for my novel, and I chose Los Angeles and Dallas. Before this trip, I had only been in Texas for the first year of my existence so I didn’t know what the area looked like at all. I also tend to assume that every large city equals LA, and I was obviously w...

As you may have seen, I changed the font on this blog which required reposting every single article: yes, all fifty of them. But it is now all said and done. I also removed the directory from my blog because it was becoming a hassle. There is still the archives and labels on the sidebar though. There was a comment on the "Histories and Mysteries 2018 Site Directory" that was deleted along with the article when I made my changes. I will relay it below: Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Histories and Mysteries 2018 Site Directory": I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I came across this in my search for something regarding this. Thank you for the comment if it is yours! We have finally reached a country in ou...

2017 Summer Highlights

Although it is the last day of July, it is still July so this is a miscellaneous article about some highlights of my summer. I had a great summer break off school and I was able to do many things. The main ones are listed below: Finishing School This is a very frequent happening, but every summer I finally complete my school year. I finished 10th grade this year, and it was extremely tough compared to my previous grades. There were many changes between Jr. High and High School. I had to study harder and had to write longer reports and essays. But 10th grade was also very different from 9th grade. I had even more work to do, and had to apply logical thinking to many of my subjects. This was mostly so in Biology class where application questions were on my tests and exams. I also began to take some notes, and began to use flashcards for both my English and Spanish vocabulary terms. I was glad to be finally done with that school year although I knew that I would be moving on to an...
