Back when I was in high school I went on a trip to Boston, MA with my mom. I was ecstatic. At the time, US history had been one of the classes I was most interested in, so traveling to Boston only a few months after the completion of the course was exciting to be able to go and explore first-hand some of the places I had learned so much about in class. Standing outside of the Old South Meeting House, an over 300-year-old building, knowing how much of our history and historical events came out of that one building was mind boggling. While I would not say so much anymore, I used to be a big history buff, so that experience left such a positive and life changing impact on me, as did many of the other sights and buildings I got to go and see
