Mesquite

Born in Rowlett, Texas as the first born to my parents, I was raised in the city of Mesquite until the birth of my only sibling, a little brother two and a half years younger than myself and always considered the "baby," even in the current day. After his birth, my family moved to the sluggish city of Rockwall in 2003. We were a small family in a large house, with both parents working and good babysitters that did not abuse or neglect us few and far between. These were our only issues until 2004

Women in China at the beginning of the twentieth century China was suffering a great loss at the beginning of the twentieth century since half of its citizens were not able to contribute much to the country. The Chinese society at that time was male dominated, so though women comprised almost half of the total population, they had actually very little part to play in uplifting the country economically, socially and intellectually. Nevertheless, Chinese women should not be blamed for that. They had

What You Know About Yourself Some students have an identity, an interest, or talent that defines them in an essential way. If you are one of these students, then tell us about yourself. Growing up I was a kid that loved to try out all kinds of things ( and still do ), that I knew nothing about, though some people thought I was wired because of it. Such as wanting to play field sports, art, skating, ice skating, hockey at one point, music, and the list goes on because the more I learn about these

I usually start a travel adventure with books, especially if I am lucky enough to be a passenger as my dear husband drives. In the case of our Grand Canyon tour, the Elgin Library supplied a great cross-section of resources starting with the National Geographic’s Driving Guides to America for the Southwest. It has tons of itineraries that we did not drive because of time constraints and insights such as “the giant saguaro cactus can grow more than 40 feet – those with several arms are usually over

My life began 14 years ago on September 22, 2000 at about 1:30 pm at Mesquite Medical Center. I weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 inches long. I have a sister who is 6 years older than me and is currently attending Stephen F. Austin for her 3rd year. When I was born, I had little blue spots on my body, but the most noticeable one is on my finger, it has grown as I have gotten older. My dad also has these mysterious spots and has been to many dermatologists to try and figure out what they are but

Ysleta Mission Ysleta, Texas Mission Corpus Christi de la Ysleta, the first mission in Texas, was established by Antonio de Otermín and Fray Francisco de Ayeta in 1682 and was maintained by Franciscans for christianizing the Tigua Indians. The Tigua came as refugees and captives with the former Governor of New Mexico, Antonio de Otermín on his retreat to the El Paso area after his unsuccessful attempt to recover New Mexico in the winter of 1681–82 during the Pueblo Revolt.

“On the night of October 1, 2017, Sunday at Route 91 Harvest country music festival at 10:05 pm shots fired in Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.” (Lombardo, 2017). Seemingly Las Vegas longest horrific ten minutes has recently had, news around the world stated that Stephan Paddock was solemnly capable of committing such massacre. Uncovered evidence can be proven to the contrary, that one man was capable of injuring 546 and killed 59 solemnly within ten minutes. One could see this act not of a

family is Creole, Cherokee Indian and Black which I now understand since over half of my families on both sides are from Louisiana. Unfortunately a year after my brother was born my parents got divorced and we moved away from our apartments in Mesquite to be close to our grandparents. Since then I now live in Oak Cliff with my mom, brother and both of my grandparents. We often go on vacations twice every year. One I vaguely remember was when we took a trip to Disneyworld in Florida and stayed at

concertgoers below revealed an alarming arsenal of 23 weapons and accessories, including semiautomatic rifles, scopes and hundreds of rounds of ammunition — much of which could be legally purchased in Nevada. Another 19 weapons were found at the shooter's Mesquite, Nev., home”, according to Jervis, R., & Johnson, K. (2017, October 03). It should be illegal for any man, let alone a sixty-four year old man, to own over thirty-two guns with deadly modifications but some Americans don’t seem to agree. Basically

Gun Control The problem with gun control in college campuses has become a debate nowadays. 50% of the population is for it as well as against it. Despite all the positive feedback the public has to say about allowing concealed weapons on campus, they are dangerous. Guns should not be allowed on college campuses because students are not fully matured, are under the influence, and it affects the learning environment. Students are not fully developed by the age they start college. More than a hand
