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

He reveals that San Antonio had a significant role in assisting Texas's environment due to the Spanish colonials. San Antonio also became the most successful settlement in Texas because of their Hispanic settlement after the late 1700s. Many of the Spanish colonizers appreciated the landscape and parries and well as the rough terrain. Many of the settlers also enjoyed the climate in Texas because it was never too hot or cold. It was seemingly the perfect place to settle due to the fact that not many natural disasters occurred within the region as well as the fertility of the land was not ever seen with any concern. Food and animals were also abundantly available to the inhabitants of this region. Overall, travelers into Texas could agree upon one thing which was that Texas was a prime place for agriculture. The San Antonio River also was seen as a great asset for not only the current settlers but for the future of San Antonio. Down the line inhabitants of San Antonio altered the natural state in which San Antonio once was.

These wealthy families would send letters back to Germany and Bohemia telling about how great Texas is, comparing the climate to that of Sicily in Southern Italy, telling that the soil was lush and fertile, and that the game and available food was abundant. This was done in hopes that Germans and Bohemians that were sick of the overpopulation of their home country would take the opportunity to farm these fertile foreign

Do you remember when you were a kid, there was that one place that always seemed so amazing, but once you got there you were so disappointed? When you are a kid, a disappointment like that seems to be a big deal. Well when I moved to Texas, it was just that. The worst place I have ever tried living, was in Bethel, Texas. There are numerous reasons that make me say this including, the excessive oil drilling, how spread out each town is, and how god awfully ugly it was. I would never recommend going there. I moved there, and within a month, I came back home. Even if I think of it as a Vacation, it still was a horrible experience.

Texas is well known for its history throughout time. Following the history of Texas, there are many different myths and legends.

The recorded history of Texas begins with the arrival of the first Spanish conquistadors. Attracted by the rich lands for cotton, plantations, and ranching, tens of thousands of immigrants arrived from the U.S. In 1845, Texas joined the United States becoming the 28th state. Located in the south central part of the country. The language is dominated by English but Spanish is spoken there as well.

The Settlement of Texas is an important act in history. It all started with a man named Moses Austin and his son Stephen F. Austin. If these men had not worked and some even given their lives to Texas becoming independent, we would not have the 28th state of Texas.

My life in Texas in general is okay but I wouldn't want to live here permanently. Despite the train and bus services, it's hard to get around without a car here. The city is so big and spread out everything is miles and miles away.
