Growing up in Houston I could see a business man full of success and then I would move my eyes away from him‚ to see a homeless man barely making it by all on the same street. It is sad that in order to live you have to focus on gaining a green piece of paper. I have lived in Sugar Land; a city near Houston for most of my life. When I was 11 years old my parents divorced‚ it was then that I realized I would have to be the man of the house. I remember the day that they told me‚ I sat in my room wondering

The day that I remember the most from my calf scramble project. Is the day that I found out that I was lucky enough to be selected for the Houston Calf Scramble. For the chance to win two thousand dollars. Little did I know how much they made you work for it. It wasn’t till the day that I stepped foot in to the Calf Scramble office that I realized how hard I was going to have to work. The moment that I stepped in to that office I sall all of the past scramblers hard work and effort put into their

Richard Serra Richard Serra is widely celebrated by academics and popular critics alike for rethinking the very nature of sculptural objects. Rather than functioning as sites of aesthetic interest in themselves‚ Serra’s works have served as literal indexes of his working process‚ or as quasi-architectural structures that prompt critical reflection on how we perceive space and time. These terms‚ which have been painstakingly refined in the voluminous critical texts on Serra’s work‚ can be

attack the Mexicans because Sam Houston and his soldiers were hidden so well. And of all of these Texas heros I think that Sam Houston is the most heroic and brave hero of Texas during the 1800’s for defending and fighting to get Texas independence from Mexico just like Mexico had fought to be independent from Spain (which has nothing to do with Sam Houston but is an interesting fact).

raised in Middlesex County‚ New Jersey. The first place I would be interested in moving too would actually be the city my group did our project on which is Houston‚ Texas.

Sam Houston and the American Southwest were written by Randolph B. Campbell. Currently Professor Campbell teaches at University of North Texas in Denton. He has written many other books including Gone to Texas The history of the Lone star state. This is one of my favorite books; Sam Houston had a very interesting life. As a child he was relentless and rebellious. He had little formal education‚ but loved to read. He eventually tired of Tennessee and ran away. He crossed the river and lived among

In my experience‚ I don’t think I am reluctant to a specific identity. Houston is a very diverse city that people can find almost any type of music genre. In my community there are Hispanic and African American families. The music that is heard is of all kinds from “R&B‚ Pop music‚ Reggae‚ to Cumbia‚ Bachata and Regional Mexicano.” I have lived in the same community ever since I was born and in my opinion‚ I have grown up listening to the different types of music genres. This has shaped my identity

When it comes to energy there are so many different options. Do you go for renewable energy and plan for the future? Or do you go for nonrenewable and do what is best right now. I believe that the city of Houston should use nuclear energy to provide energy to the fourth largest city in America. Nuclear energy is the most efficient and reliable source of large-scale‚ around-the-clock source of power. Nuclear power plants maintain a national average reliability between 85 and 90 percent.
