Thanksgiving

Yesterday, we all sat down and celebrated Thanksgiving with our families.  Until this semester I have had that picturesque idea of the Native Americans and the Pilgrims sitting down and celebrating Thanksgiving like all my past teachers have told me.  This semester, however, I was challenged to question those things the textbook teach and those lessons taught over and over that might be wrong.  I feel that this social studies class has helped me so much to be able to truly research and understand what I being taught.  Like Dr. Meier said on Monday, "History is his or her story."
