the first a historical event that inspired
me to want to pursue political science
here at UConn is actually um in high school 
when I learned about imperialism
and colonization during the year 1492
and that completely blew my mind
it was the first time that had you know truly
understood the the global impact of that invasion
you know that global invasion
and ever since it inspired me to want
to pursue learning more about the history
and a really interdisciplinary approach
to learning about politics, economics
as well and it's continued throughout
my our years at UConn 
and I hope to continue to learn more about it
and hopefully make a difference
