If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
I have a freaking list! I love history and learning, so can I say I want to be someone who gets to go in and out and watch various parts of history that really have me intrigued. I don’t even know how to choose which one! So many, for example, choice number one, and these are by no means in order of value my list is likely to change from day to day! First, Paul Revere’s ride. Paul was just a part of that ride, now made infamous by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. There were, in fact, five riders, Paul Revere, William Dawes, Samuel Prescott, Israel Bissell, and finally Sybil Ludington, daughter of Colonel Ludington, who was at the time 16 years, and her ride was double Paul Revere’s ride. How many of you know of this young rider’s infamous ride or story! Later, commended by George Washington for her acts of heroism. A patriot at the mere age of sixteen! Perhaps passionate about her beliefs! You can see a statue in Carmel, New York, and other historical markers that recount another version of a piece of history! Truly, I would just love to see so many pieces of history, I want to absorb and appreciate them all! Every piece of the story has value. So the next time you think history is boring, drab, or just nah! Take a moment to reflect, history is just a story, a story about him, her, and us. Take time to appreciate. #kindness #sparkle
