On Hamilton and History

So besides math the other subject that I like the most is definitely history...
In fact I probably like school history at least a teensy more than school math....
Competition math definitely better than school history though....
But anyways, Hamilton is really really cool. Really.
I know that some people don't get it, like, why would you want to listen to someone rap about a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a scotsman.., while you could like, listen to eminem throw lyrics at you at supersonic speed. But anyways, Hamilton appeals to me. A lot. I can't even pinpoint why. Perhaps its just my love for history. Dunno. But Hamilton is awesome and that is the point of this blog post. I recommend you all take the chance and listen to the entire album in the right order at least once, (thanks for recommending that to me, you know who you are *winks*).
And why do I like history?
I do know that... like... unlike Hamilton.... there is a specific reason to that.
So History is this interesting thing. It repeats itself. In fact, I even started all my 6th grade history essays with something that looked like "through the cycles of history", and my teacher (who I credit for making me love history) gobbled it all up. But yeah, history does repeat itself. It teaches us about what goes on now, and it teachers us where all the greats made mistakes. But most importantly, from all the mistakes the greats made, we learn from them. And because of that, we become better people.
Love Hamilton. Love History.
