History


Hi.

You know,

I’m not your usual person.

But believe me,

I mean it when I say

I’ve been there and done that.

 

BECAUSE I WAS THERE.

 

I was there

When Elizabeth II was crowned Queen.

I was there

When Rosa Parks stood up for what she believed in.

 

I was there

When the volcano erupted and covered a whole city.

I was there

When Potter received his entrance letter.

 

I was there

When the Bubonic Plague wiped out thousands around the world.

I was there

When Anne Boleyn was executed by her husband.

 

I was there

When “Titanic” smacked into an iceberg and sank 2 hours later.

 

I was there.

I am there.

But I am here.

 

Hi.

My name is History.

And this is my story.
