Essay On Colorado

One of the largest geographic physical structures in the United States is the Colorado River. Human activity and its interaction with this great river have an interesting history. The resources provided by the river have been used by humans, and caused conflict for human populations as well.

Major cities such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, and other communities in the southwest depend on the river. It provides water for over 20 million people, irrigation for 2 million acres of land, four thousand megawatts of hydroelectric energy, and over twenty million annual visitors for

The Colorado River Basin starts in the Rocky Mountains and cuts through 1500 miles of canyon lands and deserts of seven US states and two Mexican states to supply a collection of dams and reservoirs with water to help irrigate cropland, support 40 million people, and provide hydroelectric power for the inland western United States [1,2]. From early settlement, rights over the river have been debated and reassigned to different states in the upper and lower basin; however, all the distribution patterns lead to excessive consumption of the resource. In 1922, the seven US states signed into the Colorado River Compact, which outlined the policy for the distribution rights to the water [3], however, this compact was written during an exceptionally

My family was extremely upset with my mother and wept for my return. While in jail, I met many good people who had made bad decisions in their lives. I only ate cookies and Ramen noodles, and I drank water. For the first time in my life, I had an affectionate moment with God as I called out to Him. I knew that He was the only one that would get me through this situation. I can recall being shackled at my ankles and hands while being forced to walk to go to the court room for every hearing. I called my oldest sister, Francesca, on every opportunity. I was offered a plea deal of one year in prison and seven years of parole. All I could think about was going home and starting my senior year of high school. I prayed to God for guidance, and I told myself every day that I would soon go home. My father came to see me, and for the first time in my life, I saw him cry. He was extremely hurt, and he told me to stay strong. My family tried everything to pay my $40,000 dollar bond. I was soon left with two options: take the plea or go to trial. Thinking about my future, I was willing to take the plea, but only if it were probation. I had already missed a week of my senior year, and I just wanted to go home. The public defender spoke with the Judge about the First Offender Law, and the Judge lowered the plea to 7 years of probation. On September 21, 2012, I accepted the plea deal of seven years of probation, and I was released that night. My sister picked me up, and I lived with her for a few weeks before reporting to my probation officer. Wasting no time, I returned to school the next day. My peers had heard of the destruction, and my teachers were happy to see me. I became extremely depressed, and I wanted to run away. For the first time in my life, I was portrayed as a criminal. I regretted my actions, but I did not regret defending my

Minnesota is known to be home to the Dakota. The Santee, also known as Eastern Dakota, move their villages and do different things according to the seasons. During the winter they lived off stores of supplies built up over the years. Women processed hides and gathered wood while they men were off hunting. In the spring the men went off to hunt and villagers went to sugar camps. At the sugar camps they made maple sugar and syrup. In the summer families gathered in villages while men hunted and fished and women with children cultivated crops. When the corn had been harvested they went off to harvest the wild rice from canoes. The wild rice grew in lakes so that is why they used canoes. In the fall, the men and their families went to the year’s spot for the annual hunt. All of this was essential to the Dakota’s way of life and culture.

I became a part of Colorado history Twenty-One years ago. I came to Colorado in search of a new life. A new place to start my family, and twenty years later I am here with my family. I was originally born in Chihuahua, Chihuahua Mexico. I am daughter of Lidia and Jesus Ponce. Sister to Jesus Ramon and Perla Rocio Ponce. Colorado, has been a second home to me. I feel as if I have the best of both worlds. I feel as if I have the best of the American culture and the Hispanic culture. I am also a part of history because I had all three of my children in Greeley Colorado.

I believe that the rock cycle has an impact on Colorado because of the sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rock cycles that lead up to the formation of the Earth’s mountains, and terrains. These different steps lead up to the rock cycle. To turn igneous to sedimentary, they are easily eroded, it breaks down to sediment. Sedimentary to metamorphic, sedimentary rocks are subject to pressure so it produces a chemical reaction. Metamorphic to igneous, when metamorphic rock gets hot, it melts turning it into igneous rock and this precedes the rock cycle.

Since I didn’t post bail I spent over a month in the same county jail they came to get me for a psych evaluation before my formal hearing.

At the court hearing, the judge went over my criminal charges, gave me an attorney, and increased my bail up to one million dollars since I was found guilty. The judge found me guilty of a felony for marijuana cultivation. That’s not the worst part. I was facing 20 years in prison. This was an extremely harsh reality for someone who had never been to prison before. I had no idea of what to expect and would be lying if I said I wasn 't at least a little bit nervous.

It was the most memorable since I got to dance with my crush for the very first time during JS Prom. On the other hand, what made it crucial is that I never got the chance to avoid pressure when it comes to requirements, especially when they were all lining up. I had sleepless nights which led me to have sleep deprivation and micro sleeps while in class. Well, I thank God and I felt very blessed, because despite all the challenges, the hassles of waking up early, it was all worth it because I graduated with three gold medals hanging on my neck. After graduation, I couldn’t help myself but cry, because I will surely miss my classmates, the fun we had, considering the fact, that we would be taking different paths, by the next school year, and we won’t be classmates anymore, but despite of everything, I’ve always wanted to thank them, for accepting me as who I am, and God for letting me meet
