    Should all college students take history classes? Definitely, it gets my fully backing.

    To start with some facts, firstly, even with master degrees and satisfying offers, we found ourselves not as happy as we imagined after graduating. Secondly, we are born to be highly expected by parents in China. For instance, top schools, training courses, famous universities and peers comparation. Consequently, we need to study day and night, nearly twelve hours a day, which results in meaningless repetition of knowledge practice. At length, even if you were lucky enough to be admitted by a key university, you have no chance to relax. Because a better university or good job opportunities are pushing you to learn more.

    Considering all above, have you felt heart broking? These facts are a really headache. Well, taking a history class now, meeting the chance to liberalize your mind temporarily. Instead of thinking those facts to tired, you will relax you heart, empty your brain and rethink your life.

    In reality, there are many advantages to learning history. It enables to bolster our understanding of the world and give us guidance in life journey. The philosophical questions, such as where we are from, who we are, and where we are going, will make us wise and reflective. Besides, we can even predict the future by learning from the past. For me, I believe it can help to build a better life plan. Although haven’t participated in any professional college history class before, I benefit a lot through reading history books. Without history learning, I would never know why I should be proud of my homeland and national heroes. These great historical personages, like chairman Mao, Geliang Zhu and Xin Han, showed deep insights in humanness and leadership. And I learned a lot from them. Apart from that, I come to know that all of us will have our show time in history, especially when we reach middle ages. History is changing, leaving us chances to define the world. Time make it inevitable that in every profession, young men replace the old.

    In a word, learning history can make students wiser, understand themselves better, develop deeper sense of culture and have more positive space for relaxtion. There is no doubt that every college student should study history.
