Canyon. Today, scientists still do not agree on how the canyon was made. Another fact about the Grand Canyon is that the walls of the Grand Canyon contain prehistoric rocks. Some of the rocks are from two million years ago (“Let’s take a look at Arizona”). Something else many people would not expect is that surprisingly people have lived in the Grand Canyon for 5,000 years or more, some of these people were Indians. The Grand Canyon is frequently visited. Researchers estimate that around five…

years, the one thing that I have come to realize is that getting a higher education from a good college is the key to success. I was raised mostly by my grandparents and my single mother while growing up. My grandma continued her education at Central Arizona College for her certificate in education, while my grandpa only obtained his high school diploma. My parents and grandparents come from poor families and not many college graduates. Even though they didn’t have any sort of college fund set…

“Research shows that most Mexican immigrants come to the United States with a strong sense of hope and self-determination, and that even when they encounter challenges, they are optimistic that their prospects will be more favorable than they could ever be in Mexico.” (“Why We Stay": Immigrants ' Motivations for Remaining in Communities Impacted by Anti-Immigration Policy.) Joshua Davis, author of the non-fiction story: Spare Parts -Four undocumented teenagers, one ugly robot, and the battle for…

county growing rapidly ever since. In 1864, Pima County was created, taking over nearly 9,200 square miles. The San Xavier Reservation, Saguaro National Park, and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument are also scattered around the county (Pima County Arizona, 2017). The Pima County Cultural Resources and Historic Prevention Division was initiated to help protect and preserve the historical and cultural aspects…

The issues that in our present day public education system are, unfortunately, not extremely different from the issues of over a century ago. As our societal expectations have shifted over the years, the points of equity and equality continuously remain at the forefront of education’s challenges. From America’s construction of the public education system in the early 1800’s, reform acts have been a part of the game and have historically been influenced by those in power. From political leaders…

picked up everything I owned and drove to Arizona. The state of Arizona makes law school flexible. I need a program that will allow me to continue to work, while attending school. Leaving New Mexico to follow my dream was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I left everything; my job, my friends and family. I left New Mexico feeling defeated and promised myself that I would not return until I had accomplished my goal. As I was driving to Arizona, I was nervous, scared, and uncertain of…

under the Spanish government, but it became a part of Mexico, when Mexico declared its independence from Spain. Then during the Gadsden purchase, it was sold to the United States but was considered a territory of the Confederate States, then when Arizona became a state it was once again under United States rule (). Tucson is an area that has a deep and rich history. However, Tucson owes this history to its geography. This geography is a part of Tucson’s past, its present, and will lead to its…

willing to work hard for the opportunity to succeed. Our plot along this new frontier fell below the fabled epicenter of Silicon Valley—sliding down California past Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Orange County—to the aptly named city of Phoenix, Arizona. When we arrived, we found a desert brimming with abundance,…

Reinvigorating NASA with more money will inspire kids in classrooms all around the United States. They will look up to the heroes who were able to step foot on a different planet. Equivalently, to students who grew up in the late 60’s and 70’s when the US first landed on the moon. Scott Grillo (2011) comments in a USA Today piece about how fortunate he is being a kid during the time of the Apollo programs. He explains how inspiring it was seeing the frontier of possible be pushed, and how it…

formations and I chose these three. The first one is a canyon, it’s located in Arizona and its name is Grand Canyon. The second one is a volcano it’s found in Washington State, Cascade Range and it is named Mount St. Helens. The last one is a plateau and it can be found in central Asia and it is called Tibetan Plateau. And then I’ll be comparing the different land forms. The Grand Canyon is in Northern Arizona with an elevation of 8,000 feet. The process of the land form forming was…
