Shelby SibertClemson, SCMaster's in History Student
I have been studying History throughout my academic career. I initially majored in Theatre and Performing Arts during much of my Associate's in Arts degree at Greenville Technical College. However, when I transferred for my Bachelors's in Arts at Clemson University in the Spring of 2020, my passion for History was reignited more intensely. I received said Bachelor's in Spring 2022 and am working towards my Master's in History. I maintained a solid 3.8 to 4.0 GPA during this time.
During my collegiate experience, I have covered almost all areas of history at one point or another; however, my focus and interests have primarily centered around military history. Moreover, I have specialized in World War I and World War II, Weimar Germany, Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and Military history. A side project in that for myself is Scandanavian Medieval History and Mythology.
I firmly believe that those who do not grasp history are destined to miss out on the lessons that history offers, if not repeat the same mistakes found in it entirely. Discussing the ideas, context, and philosophies behind these events is essential to grasp and apply them to our lives. As a Teacher's Assistant at Clemson University, I have helped and hopefully encouraged my undergrad students in pursuing this quest for historical understanding. Helping students gain this understanding is what I pride myself in as a history student, hopeful teacher, and now tutor. With me, my goal is to help you gain a new appreciation, attitude, and perception of history that you may not have considered before.
