About Me
My name is Chris Bogenhagen (in the pink) I am currently studying to become an athletic trainer or at least something in the sports world. My passions include things like hockey, baseball, and all-around outdoor activities. History though is one of those things that have always fascinated me whether that is the US or the world looking back at where things came from is cool in my eyes. This is the main reason for taking this class as I find it cool to learn about how the modern world came about from the influence of ancient civilizations. This is why I made this project on Alexander the Great as he is one of those people that would go on to shape the world and influence the modern world.
