why I became interested in history It was not until the selection of the members in international programme, did I realize that the study, especially the exam in college really matters, I got rather good scores in all classes that semester, and finally became also a member of the international programme. Then I started my adventure abroad in the University of Manchester (U.K.), studying history, sociology and philosophy, and become fully aware of the importance of study. The professor in history class inclined to ask my opinion during every seminar, so I had to be fully prepared in advance, after coming out of my comfort zone and weeks of deliberate training, I finally grasped the essence of history research and I got a rather good grades in history (78).
