Bonus: not until 40 years old did I realize American history was impossible to teach without first understanding European history, especially conflicts between German Protestants and the Catholic Church, as well as Catholic Spain against anti-Catholic France. However, at the early age of 17, I intuitively realized my high school history teacher was wasting my time and wrote him a letter.
Ironically, after four trips around the world, I now consider history one of my strongest subjects. As they say, "Man plans, the universe laughs."
