Essay: Growing Up In Dallas

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.

Growing up in the Rio Grande Valley was an experience like no other. The RGV is full of Tex-Mex, laughs, and the most random things you can think of. Despite all its quirks it’s a beautiful place to live in, and it’s home to me.

Reagan then reassured that the space program would continue to operate and “what happened today does nothing to diminish it”. This message sought to protect the ongoing space programs and was dedicated to the last sub-audience of his speech: the NASA people. He acknowledged their hard work and expressed sympathy for their loss of friends and coworkers.

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

Growing up in the same city for just about your whole life gets you accustomed to the same routine everyday. You know where you're going, you see all too familiar faces, and life just seems so bland. That was my case. I've lived in San Antonio for all my seventeen years of life, and have always wanted a sense of venture. However, when the summer of my Junior year came around, that completely changed. Being involved with my high school theatre company has given me many amazing opportunities, one of them occurring every year around November, when my troupe and I attend the Texas Thespian Festival. The festival takes place in Dallas and since it's a state festival, countless schools from across Texas travel to the fabulous Omni hotel and not

When one thinks of African American history in the United States, images of slavery and the antebellum south are what invariably come to mind. While these images are indeed apt and applicable to understanding black history in the United States, as Alwyn Barr demonstrates in his text Black Texans: A History of African Americans in Texas, 1528-1995, the history of African Americans in the U.S. date farther back than slavery and encompasses regions other than what has become known as the deep south.

John Cornyn is the Senior Senator. He is a Republican and has served since November 30, 2002. The next election will be held in 2020 to elect a new Senior Senator. He was ranked as one of the most conservative U.S. Senators. He sponsored a bill so the police would be able to obtain DNA from anyone arrested or detained. He also voted for a constitutional ban on desecrating a flag and reauthorization of the Patriot Act and extending wiretapping. He voted to ban partial birth abortions. He also voted against the Affordable Care Act.

Rhrrrrr bushhh, they have struck gold, or black gold in that matter. There are many names for the arguably find of the century such as black gold, texas tea, and bubblin’ crude. It is valuable because it powered the economic engine. It is found thousands of feet underground. It also takes millions of years to make the decomposition.

Trump signed an executive order that said scientists are not allowed to communicate with the public about their discoveries and which makes science seem irrelevant and worth cutting federal funds. I knew this was wrong because science is what makes us human and so advanced. Science has made the world what it is today and cutting its communication would make the United States stay in the state it is now and also make jobs disappear for the science field.

Sandesh Khatiwada Government 2306-71001 Professor Sharifian 30 September 2017 Texas is one of the biggest state of the United States of America. I live in Texas.

When reading Richard P. Feynman, 2017, “The Value of Science” he states “[it] is not considered enough by those who tell us it is our social responsibility to reflect on the impact of science on society” (p. 624). Well, I think that it is our social responsibility to reflect the impact of science on society. The reason I think that is Angelina Beatty, a teenage girl, from my hometown died from the flu. When Angelina died, it shook the town. After her death (this caused an uproar) every parent was making their kid get a flu shot. Therefore, Angelina’s soon to be sister in law, whom I knew from high school, took it upon herself to make it her social

Growing up in Texas with a jewish mom and an atheist dad was wildly unheard of and slightly unconventional. Texans are famous for two major slogans, the first being “Come and get it” from the Texas revolution, and the second being “Just being a good christian” from every christian i have ever met. I came out of the womb retaliating against conformity along with religion, i didn't understand the need to associate a good deed with christianity when the reality is that people do good things out of humility and for the common good. As i got older i was further subjected to the scrutiny of others through their religious agenda. On December 21st, 2012 the world was predicted to end, my friends and i decided to spend our last day floating in the

“Everything’s bigger in Texas,” a widely known saying, may very well be true when it comes to the size of the state, but is everything in Texas really bigger? Researching the Lone Star state, the second largest state in the nation, Dallas seemed to be the largest city as well as the center of it all; and it also could be used as a good representation of the state’s overall average climate. The Dallas “metroplex is located in North Central Texas, approximately 250 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico” (Dallas/Fort Worth Climatology). To appreciate the large and intricate city, it is valuable to know the climate, vegetation, soils, landforms, and the environmental issues that are present in Dallas, and see how they affect

There is no comparison between one history, which happened, and some other one which did not. Moreover, one must not simply fall into the trap of believing that just because Los Alamos National Laboratories provides jobs, its economic impact will be inherently positive. All facilities of any kind provide employment, but providing jobs definitely obscures more than it reveals. Jobs for whom? It is possible that Los Alamos National Laboratories, which by definition provides jobs, could drive away other jobs, often times many more then it provides. Another possibility is that immigrants from other states or other parts of the world could ultimately take the majority of the jobs. So, in short, the Los Alamos National Laboratories could increase the number of impoverished in the area, as well as worsening the situation for many of the “already

"Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works."-Carl Sagan, Cosmos. What every community should strive for, is to be as close to the front lines of science and innovation as possible. Louisville, Kentucky is ranked a mere 58 out of 100 cities nearby in number of STEM programs and jobs available (Science, Technologies, Engineering, and Mathematics). STEM fields are responsible for progression in any given industry. Louisville has such dense light pollution all we can see at night is a few scattered stars and a glow, the dim glow blanketing the heavens diminishes the curiosity of scientific progress and achieving the impossible. In the age of the internet, we can easily start a trend that progresses STEM funding by having locals cut back on artificial lighting for the sake of improving our view of the cosmos. Spreading the word on social media with the ever growing popularity of the “hashtag” in order to push the money the city will save into STEM institutes and programs for the community. This essay will highlight how that trend will benefit Louisville by bringing in jobs, money and innovation.
