El Paso has many enjoyable adventures. Pamela Porter quotes Mike Episcopo saying, “You've got 2 million peopl in the El Paso-Juarez area, but when you get up in the canyons, it's like you'r in the middle of nowhere” (qtd. in Porter 1). To some, being in the middle of nowhere might sound like a bore, but to most, this is a perfect getaway. El Paso has many hiking trails, biking trails, museums, and more: a great reason for anyone to escape from today’s crazy world. If being away from society doesn't sound like a great time, El Paso still keeps its mixed cultures and history alive through its architecture. Bill Crawford states “… [T]he most far-out thing about El Paso is its culture, an energetic melding of Old Mexico, New Mexico, West Texas, and even a dash of Bhutan” (1). El Paso has many different hotels,

A poem written by South Carolina pastor, Jeremy Rutledge has given readers a lot to think about. The poem was composed after the great Hurricane Harvey tragedy in Houston. In his poem Rutledge mentions the word pray many times but the meaning of it goes way beyond that. When praying for something it is important to know the aspects and struggles of it, and that is exactly what Rutledge is doing in this poem, stating all the things that make Houston unique, diverse, and capable to rise from it all.

Purpose: After listening to my speech, the audience will be more educated on Texas’s roadside attractions, as well as relate to the sites I will discuss in my presentation.

Sam Houston was born in Rockbridge, Virginia in 1793 and died in Huntsville, Texas in 1863. He lead an adventurous life that involved the Creek Indian War and the War for Texas Independence. During his lifetime he was a Congressman and a Governor for the state of Tennessee. He lived among the Cherokee Indians and became a lifelong advocate for Native American rights. He was twice elected the President of Texas and later, after its annexation to the United States, he was elected twice as its Senator and its Governor. Although he demonstrated great leadership as a politician in Tennessee, his greatest influences were in Texas and the American Southwest. In this way, he helped to shape the future of two states and the destiny of the United States.

“Dallas is an amazing city, so I hope that when people come here they don’t see this as the Wild Wild West in terms as the cowboy stereotype,” King said.

Conclusion: These are only a few reasons why Dallas is a great place to live.

On the coast of Texas just outside of Houston is a county called Galveston County. People like to vacation here throughout the year even if it is just the Houstonians getting away from the city. There is plenty for people to do here from walking the beaches of Galveston, enjoying the recently built Pleasure Pier on the seawall, or the Boardwalk Plaza located in the town of Kemah to name a few of the most popular. These are the things people who visit enjoy yet the people who live here for the most part either work there or rarely visit the “Attractions”. The people that make up this county are not rich and for the most part barely get by. It is an

After Houston ran away, he lived with the Hiwassee Cherokee tribe. This tribe consisted of three hundred men, women, and children. The leader of the tribe was Chief Ooleteka who Houston soon developed a close relationship with. In fact, “Ooleteka became more than a surrogate father to young Sam….he adopted him, giving him the name Kalanu (the Raven).” While with the Cherokees, Houston learned to hunt, trap, and fish, and became well versed in Indian lore. Additionally, Houston became skilled at woodworking and he began to carry around wood and a pocket knife, a habit he continued his entire life. Houston also had similar personality traits to the Cherokees. Houston “was simple and brave; he was quiet and reserved and dignified; but when he

Being a proud native Texan, you can trace my family back to the time when Sam Houston was President of the country of Texas. However, shortly after the US attacks on 9/11, choosing to not live in fear my father accepted a position in his company which entailed moving our family to New York City. We witnessed first hand the beauty of neighbors coming together and holding each other up while rallying to rebuild and move forward. Sadly, we also shared the personal heartache of one of my classmates who was fatherless due to the heinous acts of terrorists.

A recent four-day day trip took us from San Salvador, the capitol, to the mountains, small towns and markets and ancient sites that feature glimpses of pre-historic life within a stones through of a golden statue of Che Guevara. Along the way we even got to mingle with the spirits in a cemetery that caters as much to the living as it accommodates the dead that was filled with opulent decorations and candles in honor of deceased relatives and friends.
