He had zoomed right through his whole homework page in less than five minutes, he was still shocked about his new skills.

The first day Tyler went back to school he ran right inside to tell his math teacher Mrs. Catherine about his wonderful abilities. Tyler said, “Mrs. Catherine I can do the math right off the top of my head!” Mrs. Catherine didn’t understand what he was referring to. She responded

    Texas Longhorn Research Paper

    If any single animal could be said to represent of the state of Texas, that animal could only be the iconic Texas Longhorn. Saved from the brink of extinction, this hardy and resilient symbol of Texas, is a uniquely American breed of cattle, easily recognizable worldwide because of the prodigious horn length of the breed, used by the males to protect the herd. Left alone in the wild, the Texas Longhorn can live for twenty years or more, although if domesticated and raised for meat, that lifespan shortens to three to five years. Classified scientifically as Bos taurus, the Texas Longhorn, and all variants of Bos taurus, maintain a close evolutionary connection with Bos indicus, as the two species can breed and produce viable offspring. The Texas Longhorn produces a unique beef when compared and contrasted with other breeds of cattle. The Texas Longhorn is a survivor, and the American grasslands have provided it with an environment with which it has prospered, and will continue to prosper in the foreseeable future.…

    A Death in Texas by Dina Temple-Raston

    While reading the book A Death In Texas by Dina Temple-Raston, I found many differences in our current society compared to Jasper just a decade ago. While reading this book I noticed right away how certain parts of Texas are segregated, including Jasper. I understand that the location does make a difference. Here in Washington there wasn’t a lot of diversity a century ago and we were a lot like the 1998 Jasper. Our “Other” or “Them” were the Chinese. Whereas, just a decade ago, in Jasper, the police department was lenient towards hate crimes and didn’t care if they occurred until Sheriff Rowles was elected. He was colorblind and believed in justice for all. When the murder of James Byrd occurred in 1998 it changed everything in Jasper and drew the attention of the entire United States.…

    Personal Narrative: SAT Today

    Sitting down on the intense artic cold blue seat. I shrived immensely, worried that my desk was having an earthquake. After calming down and positioning myself at an angle away from where the icy cold air was coming from, I was ready. The instructor was having trouble opening the little red plastic tab in which you pull up to get access to the booklet, but after a while, we began to open them, some people had more trouble than others and, I was so anxious, my hand couldn’t stop rambling, almost unable to hold my paper. After starting, all I could hear were small, almost silent cries of surprise, others were with the flimsy pages, turning them back and forth and back again, almost sounded like a bird flapping its wings in a windy day, and the rest were pressing on their calculators, if you paid enough attention, you can make some sort of an upbeat melody. After ignoring all distractions, I managed to get some easy algebra questions, I thought to myself, other than its dull boring appearance, it is not that bad. I fastened my bright yellow, Dixon Ticonderoga pencil into my hand and marched on.…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To Texas

    On Saturday April 13, 2013 I was walking through the parking garage on the USAA campus in San Antonio, TX to start my 4 hour work shift, I began to go through the turnstile and seemingly startled awake a bat. This bat began to fly and squeal in fear. It darted at my head getting caught in my hair a couple times. I started to scream and flail my arms about trying to fend off the nocturnal flying mammal in fear. During what seemed to be forever I was able to unlock the turnstile and exit the entry way but not before rupturing two discs in my neck. This incident caused quite the turn of events in my life. I had been working for USAA for 3 years and truly loved it there. I also lived in a beautiful apartment with my mother and two children and…
