Hello let me introduce myself I am Jason Bolton and I am from Iowa in America. I have a beautiful bride who is Dagbani and I am going to be a Ghanaian and we are planning to raise a family in Ghana. I am desperately trying to get to Ghana and get my bride fresh water and sewage due to her village not having any. I have a bachelor’s degree in history and a minor in creative writing from the university of northern Iowa in cedar falls, Iowa I feel it has prepared me to work in fields that emphasize strong research and communication skills. History has many advantages and offers me a compelling vision of human activity and capability and a unique analytical perspective on the world in a comprehensive context that social science disciplines can seldom match. To understand history, you must gain a deep knowledge of culture, religion, art, politics, and war. My history degree form Northern Iowa Iowa has amoung other things has completely broaden and utilize my skills in writing, reading, primary and secondary source analysis, chronological reasoning, and understanding complex causality. These skills are essential to both professional and managerial positions in nearly every field of study and practice, and also serve as the basis for history and this is a small fraction of how I can help you without you having any concerns . I'm a driven and motivated highly qualified candidate I will use my skills in the following areas Apply a critical lens to the study of the past, understanding that history is not simply an account of what happened, but the result of a process of interpretation analyze the complex causality of events from the past, articulating the how and why of these events make sense of the past by tracking patterns of change and continuity over time. create evidence-based historical arguments analyze the written work of others and collaborate with peers to analyze and understand historical contexts and content employ digital technologies in the solving of writing, reading, and source analysis problems The other thing is communicating information and explaining what’s going on.” This may sound simple, but it can be a difficult skill to master. My bachelor’s degree in history gives me excellent research, writing, and communication skills and gives me preparedness to master many jobs, including teaching, the law, financial investments, nonprofit work, museum work, and journalism, to name just a few.I will offer you this example . America's first president George Washington’s world, which operated on different assumptions as far as a social obligation. “If you were in the early republic in the late 18th century after George Washington finished the presidency and returned to Mount Vernon, and you were a traveler coming along on your way through northern Virginia, it was entirely expected that you could stay at George Washington’s place and he would put you up in guest quarters. You know it’s inconceivable you would do that today. But back then, it was a social obligation. It was expected.” studying of history illuminates how our culture and customs change, it also brings with it some very practical skills: My Degree in History has Built Detective (AKA Research) Skills. understanding the past requires curiosity and persistence. I'll quote Herbert Butterfield who said that “the historian is not a judge, he’s a detective.” I can follow leads to discover new information, much as detectives do. “The detective interrogates people, he questions witnesses, and he questions suspects. The historian does the same thing, the main difference is our suspects are dead, so we’re basically reading through their letters.”And finally if you were to honor me with the gift of becoming a Ghanaian I feel like I have all the things needed to help my future home in Ghana.
