Why I Choose Texas

Improved Essays
I have had the great opportunity to have lived in several different locations around the United States. Branching off into three states and then subcategorized into cities based on the location of each. I have traveled the United States for many years, traveling from one city to another. Staring from birth I have moved and lived in many different homes, classifying each location into states and from there branching off into cities. I have had the great fortune of living in Texas first. Texas is the state that I have lived in the longest out of the three. The first small city that I lived in is known as Portland Texas.

Arriving at the age of eleven I moved to Duluth Minnesota. Living there for a year it was the biggest city I had lived in when in Minnesota. Soon after, I moved to Two Harbors Minnesota. I moved there to get away from the busy life of the big city. It was the most fun location of the three cities on Minnesota. It is because of the huge variety of skiing areas and hockey games that everyone attended on Fridays. I lived in Two Harbors until the age of thirteen. After a year in Two Harbors I moved to an even smaller city called Silver Bay. Silver Bay was the best location because it was directly off the bay of Lake Superior. It also had the best private school designed for the student who lived out in the woods, because it was a lot harder for the students to make it to class on time because of all the snow delays. Minnesota was the coldest location of all the states I have lived in, and by far my favorite. I lived in Minnesota from age eleven to age fourteen, from there I moved to Florida to be closer to

    You'll feel the inescapable pull of the UT Austin spirit in a million ways. For some, it's finding that secret studying (or napping!) spot tucked away in a quiet library full of ancient manuscripts; for others, it's the roar of the burnt orange crowd as 100,000 voices unify to the words of "The Eyes of Texas. " Whatever the case, our many traditions help to strengthen our community and bind us together as Longhorns — proud, ambitious and determined to change the world.…

    One of the cities I believe millennials love the most is Austin, Tx. That might sound weird considering the stereotypical millennial and the stereotypes surrounding Texas. Millennials are more liberal, artsy, young, hipster, nonreligious, and open to change, whereas Texas is stereotyped as old, southern, conservative, dogmatic, traditionalist, and pious protestant christian. So, why would a millennial think anything remotely related to Texas, let alone a Texas city, would be cool?…

    For the next five years I lived in White Plains, New York and living there was unique, in that owning a vehicle was obsolete. I was able to walk to the store, the park and to school. The ability to walk everywhere gave my the opportunity to build relationships with my whole community and to many, it may come as surprise that even with living in a big city most of the people living within it knew each other. Even though I come from a culturally distinct country and lived in the city that never sleeps I can only call Baltimore, Maryland my home. Living in Baltimore, has had a big impact on my life because it has shaped my identity and personality.…
