Yesterday, on September 15, I had a group of 6th graders that I had to take on a tour of downtown Roanoke. My experience as a tour leader was quite enjoyable because it felt like I was passing down our local history. It felt like I was making a difference in young peoples lives, and I felt that we had fun while learning also. I think that it is very important that someone teaches the younger generations about our local history, just as Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Sears taught me. I think that if we don't teach them about it, then our history could be forgotten, and that would not be good. the most interesting thing that I learned about Roanoke is that downtown used to be where everything was. You could just go to downtown and buy you some shoes, groceries, and watch a movie if you wanted to. I think that this tour helped me grow as a student and as a "leader".
