History's Impact

Events throughout history have impacted our daily lives in different ways. For example,

the September 11 terrorist attacks, where four passenger airliners were hijacked and crashed on

the World Trade Center and other locations in the United States. As a result, we now have TSA

pat-downs, quantity-based liquid bans, and passengers are required to remove their shoes for X-

ray scanning. When I fly I get frustrated because of the long lines and how we have to take off

our shoes and get searched. Events will continue to occur every day and those events will

continue to change our lives and the way we live.

The historical information I researched changed my perspective on some events of my

life. Certain events that occurred changed and affected my everyday life without me even

noticing until now. The 2012 election between President Obama and Mitt Romney election result

was an event that would affect my life for a long time. In 2012, I returned back to school, and I

depended on Financial Aid and school loans to pay for my studies. When President Obama won

the election, I was excited and happy because he supported financial aid and school loans for

students that could not afford to attend school. In 2015 president Obama created the Student Aid

Bill of Rights to help take action on the student debt problem, and provide borrowers with more

rights and protections. According to the Student Debt Relief website the current average

borrowers student loan debt at $28,400, and the average default rate at nearly 14%. This election

helped me with school because more financial programs were available for me to use. The

Student Debt Relief impacted my life because it helped me pay my school loans faster. In

addition, working in special education, hygiene is a big priority. In special education students

take longer learning hygiene skills. Special needs students need to be reminded not to sneeze all

over, have their hands in their mouth, touch different areas of their bodies, and sometimes have

trouble going to the restroom. When I first started working with special need students the Ebola

virus began spreading and was big news. Nobody had any knowledge of what the Ebola Virus

was, and how it was spreading and killing people. We would receive all of the information from

the news. The news anchors reported that the virus was easy to spread and people were dying

because they were getting affected. The news was that the virus was spreading in the United

States and this caused panic around the country. I remember schools and teachers were scared.

We were asked to sanitize the classroom and report everything because we were scared of

getting sick. The Ebola outbreak spread rapidly and became the deadliest occurrence of the

disease since its discovery in 1976. A total number of reported cases is about 28,637 that were

affected by the Ebola virus according to The World Health Organization.

Furthermore, the 2016 presidential election is probably the most important event that will

affect my life. In 2016 Donald Trump became the President of the United States. Presidents

trump policies are very controversial. Trump winning will affect me and my education. In 2015,

I decided to transfer school to receive my Bachelor degree. Donald Trump winning can affect

my financial aid assistance because he plans of cutting funding. According to Alec Tyson and

Shiva Maniam authors of “Behind Trump’s victory: Divisions by race, gender, education”

College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college

degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This statistic shows how college graduates were looking for a

more stable vision from a president that supported current students and financial help for

students.

The relationship between personal recollection, history, and quantitative data is the act of

re-collecting. Recollection represents recalling to mind; remembrance. History is the branch of

knowledge dealing with past events, and quantitative data means information that can be

measured and written down with numbers. In order to get quantitative data, we need a historic

event. We need an event to gather the data, and in order to gather information we need to recall

the past event. Personal recollection, history, and quantitative data are all inter-related because

you can’t reliably get the information from one without the other two.
