Life story: Ever since she was a little girl Christine Johnson was interested in history. She decided to become a history teacher when she was ten. She's been teaching American history for the past twenty years. Christine gets a bit upset every now and then, because her students are not as passionate about the past as she was at their age. She constantly reminds them that "those who cannot remember their past are condemned to repeat it" but her wise words often fall on deaf ears. However, Christine still finds her job very satisfying because once in a while she teaches students who listen to her every word with familiar sparks of curiosity in their eyes.
