In chapter 1 of On the Border: An Environmental History of San Antonio, Char Miller introduces the reader to the environmental background of the San Antonio region. He explains that throughout San Antonio there is a lot of rich environmental history due to the human environmental interactions and the physical setting of San Antonio. He also answers the question of why San Antonio was established at its location. He conveys this through three answers that he calls environmental factors. These factors are water, topography and ecotone. These three environmental factors are what Miller described to have a meaningful and important role to how San Antonio was created. Ecotone is the boundaries in which San Antonio was created on as well as the diversity

That day came sooner than expected. My student picked a oad from south texas to the Los Angeles area. He made an excellent choice except for one reason. That reason was that load couldnt deliver early, adn it gave us a week to go just 1400 miles. We had disacussed those thigs before, but he made a mistake and we dealt with it. How, well we stayed in south texas for three days, partying at night across the border in Mexico, and sleeping it off at the terminal each day. Then we left for California. This was his trip, and I was just a buddy riding with him. He called all the shots, you know, where and when to get fuel, meals, breaks, and all the rest. WHe said he was ready, but he failed. WHy did he fail, because he was doingquite well until we

The Alamo is an 18th-century mission church in San Antonio, Texas It was originally built to be the church for the Mission San Antonio de Valero began as a Catholic mission and compound in 1718, one of many Catholic missions organized as part of the official Spanish plan to Christianize Native Americans and colonize northern New Spain.

Growing up in Dallas, I had a pretty good childhood. I grew up as a outgoing child, always smiling and laughing. My early years were very laidback and took everything one step at a time. I remember not wanting to go to my preschool on the first day, I was really nervous and didn't want to leave my parents. I also did attend preschool at the time, and I remember my first friend. His name was Joseph. He was super cool and so nice and we stayed friends for a while. I also remember one of my first vacations, and it was to Mexico. I really enjoyed it and i miss visiting my family there, but sadly i haven't been recently and I miss my

I will present today the reasons why I chose this short story called “House Taken Over” by Julio Cortazar. A story not related directly with my culture which is Dominican but it is Hispanic which could be the same in some aspects. First of all, this is a story set in Argentina and it centers on a brother and his sister. The siblings lived in a big family home, which has been in the family for generations. Both of them are in their forties and have never been married. They spend their days cleaning and then doing what makes them happy. She knits all day and the brother loves to read French Literatures. The following quote would be a physical memory of the brother remember his days in his house “It was a pleasant to take a lunch and commune with the great hollow, silent house, and it was enough for us just to keep it clean. We ended up thinking, at times, that that was what had kept us from marrying. Irene turned down two suitors for no particular reason, and Maria Esther went and died on me before we could manage to get engaged” (Cortazar, p.689). One night they heard noises and they refused to go where the noises are originated from, therefore they decided to leave the house and basically left us with the question of who took over their house? I made some connections between this story and my culture back to my childhood. All those anecdotes that my parents and grandparents used to tell me about the way how people lived before and actually now. The FEAR always has been

Born to a family of 8 siblings on June 20, 1953 in Del Rio Texas, my grandmother’s story had started.Back in the year of 1955  her mother had been working as a maid at the hotel called Francisco Grande Hotel (training hotel for the San Francisco Giants),making 80 cents an hour, while her father had been working with Cesar Chavez’s farm labor organization. They moved to Stanfield, Arizona during 1955, because her father had to work for the ranchers in the tractor fields. For  chores on  Saturday’s everyone in the family had to pick a room and clean that room, my grandmother’s prefered room to clean was the living room. On her spare time she liked to hang out with her friends such as going to see a movie or going to the mall.

Growing up in Dallas, I have always been interested in my city’s diverse culture and rich history. Not too long ago, I learned about one of the most tragic events to occur in the Dallas area, an event that not only impacted the future of Dallas, but also affected Texas, the United States, and the world as a whole. No, this is not the unfortunate shooting of John F. Kennedy, but the untimely cancellation of what physicists planned to be the most significant and largest science device in recorded history - a 54-mile circumference particle accelerator named “Superconducting Super Collider.”

It was July 25th, 2003 when the first Ciudadana was born, seven pounds three ounces at 3:28 pm. I was the joy of my parent’s, brother, tias, tios , and primos ( aunt’s, uncle’s, and couisins. I was the one that had a chance, first generation. My parents describe it as an emotional experience. I was my Father’s first child and my moms only girl. It was in that room where history was made for the Mora Hernandez Morales Martinez family. The hardest part is that none of my grandmothers were there to see me growing up, they were at “home”

I was just a small town girl living in Grants, New Mexico. There is a saying that if you blink you will miss it driving down the highway. I was born and raised in Milan; it was just a little portion of Grants. My entire mom’s side of the family lived close by us and my dad’s side of the family was in Espanola, except for my grandma Yolie my dad’s mom. I grew up knowing almost everyone in that small town. The challenge in living in Grants was there were no available jobs. My parents had to drive back and forth to and from Albuquerque. As I was in kindergarten through second grade I would stay at my auntie’s house early in the morning or with my grandma while both my parents were in Albuquerque. Family was everything to me or at least what I

Kat held on tight to the chuck wagon’s seat. Its heavy wheels whipped down Farlow’s front street, bouncing with such a calamity the townsfolk scattered for their safety.

My grandmother Donicia was the first of the family to build a house in Penion Blanco, Durango Mexico and from my three years they took care of me almost all weekends. When I was 14 my mom decided that we move beyond and lived for three years in the field. When I returned to the city cost me much return to get used to the noise, cement and small spaces. Now, in retrospect, strange and almost need to go back to that House and that life which made from my largely what I am today. I remember that in the seven years I woke up well early to see deer eating from the garden of my grandmother at dawn.

I was born in Tyler, TX. My family and I lived in several towns throughout East Texas as I was growing up. My father worked for the Cotton Belt Railroad employed as a welder. My mother held several types of jobs. She worked as a cook, nursery worker and several other occupations. The first place I remember living was in Greenville. Greenville was followed quickly by Lindale, Chapel Hill, Mt. Vernon, Commerce, Mesquite, Marshall and finally back to Lindale. Lindale was my favorite place and the place we settled for my high school years. I thought being there for 5 consecutive years was the best thing that had ever happened to me. Most kids couldn’t wait to graduate and get out of the small town of Lindale, but I was having the time of my life. I was soon to learn that living in Lindale was not the best thing that would ever happen to me. In 1986 my wife, Julie, moved to Lindale. I remember the first time I saw her. I thought, there is the girl I am going to marry. I graduated from Lindale High School in 1989. Following high school, Julie and got married and started our family. Our first child was born soon after. I attended Tyler Junior College and worked at Brookshires warehouse. When I began college I intended to pursue a degree in computer science. I later changed my degree plan to focus on a criminal justice degree. Working full time and attending college, along with a degree change, extended my time in junior college. I graduated from Tyler Junior

Land uses in central cities adjust to the population’s prosperity and necessities as urban planning progresses throughout the years. Correspondingly, downtown Austin has transformed throughout the years from the late nineteenth century to present day. In 1885, downtown Austin was chaotic because of the clustering single-family dwellings and tenements near one another with non-specialized goods and warehouses to support the factories near the Colorado River. Due to the pollution and congestion of the unorganized plan, in 1995, suburbanization allowed single-families to escape downtown, which led to a rise in multifamily residences, parking, and offices. Today, downtown Austin has improved as investors have constructed luxury apartments, high-rise
