The Importance Of Summerss In Texas

Decent Essays
Summers in Texas are unpredictable and one hundred percent unbearable most times. In Texas it can be 110 degrees one day and be raining and 75 the next it’s unpredictable. Any time you go outside for more than like 10 minutes you have to wear sunscreen anywhere and everywhere you go. There is something about the way it’s unpredictable anything can happen just like Texas weather. The ability to show what you can do express yourself in no other way. The way adrenaline rushes through your veins, making decisions on the spot, and the ability to make yourself known. In Texas its scorching hot it makes the ground the same. Its so hot the turf melts my plastic cleats. The way the balls flies through the everything about it makes me love it. Playing

    Texas Historical Event

    I believe that the historical event of E. J. Davis's time as governor during reconstruction had a major impact on the Texas constitution in place today. Because of Davis centralizing power in the executive and corrupting the system, Texas grew more in fear of a strong government (Davis Video Lecture). Also, the fact that Texas is an individualistic state and believes that "government should limit its role to providing order in society" is another reason why limited government is a major aspect of the Texas constitution (Ginsberg, et.al., p.743). The Texas and U.S. constitutions differ because the Texas constitution is more detailed and complex, where as the U.S. constitution is more simple and can be interpreted in different ways (Ginsberg,…

    This was a day I’ll never forget, for this day while complaining about my family reunion to a coworker, named Terri, I was taught a valuable lesson about family when she invited me to attend her family reunion next June at the Corsicana State School. “You think your family is dysfunctional, come and meet mine” this exuberant woman exclaimed.

    Before Texas experienced its historical and great Oil Boom in 1901, Texas was deserted with only minor businesses in small towns and great acres of farm land. After the great Oil Boom first hit in Beaumont, the Texas landscape and the small towns in Texas changed dramatically. The oil industry grew rapidly and effected Texas and the people living in small towns economically, environmentally, and personally. Oil became the new “black gold” everyone wanted to get their hands on, but had its own price to pay no one expected. Before the great Oil Boom small towns such as Beaumont, were greatly affected by the rapid oil production.…

    Jealousy is just another part of everyday life. As shown in Bobbie Ann Mason 's "Being Country", the story just shows that it 's normal to be envious of others and just look at positive things in their lives while ignoring the negative things. For example, when Mason 's family was having dinner, instead of looking at it like a feast because of the plentiful food her family had. Mason looked at it as "fuel for work". Instead of always looking at the positive side, we as humans like to generate an unreasonable conclusion from what 's bad in our lives to what 's good in someone else 's.…

    From a young age, I always loved playing football; being out on the field is one of the best feelings ever. The adrenaline, hearing the crowd cheering, scoring touchdowns; it a rush that goes through my veins and I cannot get enough of it. I would play because I enjoyed it, but I had no idea how the simple game of football would change my life for the better. Growing up I used to see my friends come home from little league practice everyday on school days and that really used to make me mad. They used to get home when the street lights were on and we were not able to come outside and play at that time.…
