Eveybody is important

One of the most important things I learned this semester is that history is not the exclusive account of those powerful men and women who shape the fates of millions. In reality, history is everyday life for George Bush as much as it is for me. Learning about the early surveyors in Florida made me realize two important things: First of all, every job is important when it comes to history; secondly, most of the time we don't realize how much our actions affect the development of history in our communities, our nations, and our world in general. It was thanks to the surveyors that the conquest of Florida was so quick and well organized. As I said, the impact on history of the smallest of men is comparable to the effect Napoleons and Bismarcks have on their nations.
