My Beloved History major,
Words cannot express how much I adore thee. You have given me so much in the academic world and I will never be able to fully thank you. With you, we have discovered the world in a new light which has not only inspired me to travel and discover the world, but also to look at different cultures in a new light. I know that sometimes, you are seen as one of the most boring things out there, but please don't let that discourage you. With history, I can see something as boring as an old spreadsheet with weird text on it as a treasure map to find the truth. I can be so many things through my major.
I can be a historian.
I can be a teacher.
I can be a professor.
I can work with major companies to work with their history and documents.
I can work in archival research.
I can work in museums.
I can work with archaeologists.
I can work with anthropologists or linguists or ...
I have so many opportunities available to me, and all I have to do is look and it is all thanks to this major. I have been given the skills to do so many thing and to that, I am eternally grateful.
My lovely history major, you are my door to success and have shown me my academic oasis. I will continue to work hard and acknowledge your teachings as I continue past undergrad, because I know what I want to do, and where I want to go because of you. I thank you.
Gratefully yours,
Genovee Dominguez
