Yes,
I would say the United States is one of the most Diverse country in the world. With all of our freedoms we have that means there are tons of cultures we share with people. There is a big population of Mexicans and African American. Along with the big white population there are many more that we as Americans share with each other. In different parts of the country there are different kind of cultures, religions, etc. In New York there is a big Jewish population. In Texas and along the southern border there are many Mexicans. In California there are a lot of Asian people. When you walk around in a big city like LA or New York City you will see faces of different races religions and languages. You will walk around and never realize that there are different religions and languages. People have enjoyed coming to America for the jobs the opportunities in American. They are very important and people really tend to love in here. We have and amazing amount of immigrants and that just adds to the amount of people and cultures and religions and languages that just adds to the diversity we have in this country. That shows people in the world we respect many people that look different and speak different and are all around different. We invite them in!!!!

My Favorite Place
So if i had to chose anywhere in the united states to love more than anything it would definitely be New York City. The feel of a fast moving city is what i love. The fashion doesn't get any better than what it is up there. Its cold and hot perfect for all of the right outfits. The feel of this town is exactly where someone like me would love to be. There are so many things that make it unbelievably amazing. There is Broadway which puts on the best plays you will probably ever see. The museums are amazing showing art and and passion of the culture up there. The food is amazing. From seafood to Italian and Chinese. And the friends up there is so amazing because they love this place as much i do. This city is fast moving and never sleeps its perfect for me.

Terrorist
Yes, we do unfortunally have terrorist attacks in our country. It is such a big problem that we have and as a country we face that fact very harshly. Take for instance the world trade centers being attacked. It took not only us as a country by attack but it shook the world a little. You begin to think what is wronge with this world and then you come to reality and relize that there are harsh people in the world and there is nothing in the world you can do to change that.
As a country we have done some moves that I feel are not the best for our country. Like going to war with a country that we think needs help but it doesnt. We think that because we are this power country that everybody bows down to us when the truth is they have attacked us for a reason. I am not trying to completly say that our country makes terrible decisoins but when it come to making the right choices you cant help but really think that we need to do whats best not spend the most money and of course protects our citizens.
We are trying to prevent terriorst by constonly looking out for what we think is going to be a potiential thret. I have no idea what is the main reason but for me we need to prevent it but relize that the terriorsm has to me kept sneeky in order to prevent it. Thank you for reading.

School
My school is so fun. There are so many cool things to do. I am a member of leadership council where we do a lot of fun stuff for our school. I reasently went to the homecoming dance which is once a year and is a lot of fun. Do you have any thing like that? They had fun music and you got to be with your friends. I love how free you feel when you are at school. I can eat anywhere at lunch . Go to the library whenever I want and it is so nice. I love all of the cool things at my school. If you have any cool things please share them with me.

Immigrants
Yes, we do have illegal immigrants. It is a true problem that we deal with as a country. They are coming from Mexico. All of these people who cross the border and come to the United States just want a better life. I realize that people in Mexico don't get the ideal things you need to survive. Coming here is a great place for that, but it makes it twice as hard because then we have to deal with it. Now, I live in Texas so this issue is especially big for us because we are a target on were they cross. All they have to do is cross the Rio Grande. Now as us being the state of Texas we have come up with a few ways we can solve these problems. The first thing that we thought of as a country was a 24/7 police watch on the Rio Grande. Meaning we have booths set up on the border cities that have police watching. The other thing that we as a state have decided is we with build a fence on the border. Now that was a very good a idea but when it comes to reality these people will do whatever they can to get to these place because they want a better life.
I mean these people will take rides to they border. And they pay these people who take them as close to the border and then they will pay them. What i am trying to say is that these Mexican people try to do what they really can to have the best life possible because it is very hard for them to live like that.

SUMMER
Hey guys, so today I am going to tell you a little bit about my summer. It was a blast of course. There was no homework, no waking up early and just relaxing and hanging with friends and family. The first thing i did to start off my summer was swim team. I swim for the Westover Wild Orcas. That was so much fun. I love swimming and being with my friends. It is a blast to get to have fun and be with your friends doing something you enjoy. I did that till about the end of June. I then worked for a little at a camp which was great. I was working with little kids and playing with them. We did stations like bounce, creation station, field fun, gymnastics, play scape, cooking, and arts and crafts. That is probably one of my favorite things about summer.
I the beginning of August we went on a trip to Mexico with two of our closes families. We went to Sam Miguel de Allende. It is a little town in the mountains of Mexico with a very European feel to it. It is so beautiful. When you see the city you just kinda sink into this la la land because it is so beautiful. We would spend our days shopping wondering around the city. Come back to have lunch, relax a little and then stay out late that night at some restaurant. It was so pretty very inviting and I cant wait to go back. That was such a fun experince for me. When I travle I love it so much. It is one of my favorite things to do.
See you guys next time.

A Little Bit About Me
Hello everyone, my name is Erin and i am from Austin, Texas. I am a huge football fan (not soccer). I love to be outdoors and be adventures. Austin is such a good place to do that we have a ton of woods where you can hike around. Anther great thing is to walk around downtown and look at all the buildings and the shops. Speaking of shops, I love to shop like no other. I love fashion, my favorite designers are Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Burberry, and Steve Madden. These designers pretty much keep me moving everyday. They motivate me to do well in life and to keep succeeding.
One of the things i am most proud of is how close my family and I are. We do as much as we can together. I will tell them a lot of things in my life. When I am scared I will cry to them, when i am lonely they will be there for me but most of all they are always there to love and care for me which is all I really need. I love that my parents have raised me well enough to know what is good and bad. They have shown me to live life to the fullest and to never hold back. To make as many friends and only be yourself everyday of your life. Along with having an amazing family i have the best friends in the whole entire world. I can complain to any of them and they will always be there to listen. When i am sad they are there to comfort me. The best thing of all is when we are together we are having the time of our lives. So my friends are basicly my go to for advice if i can't get it from my parents. I love them all.
Now my school may be diffrent from all of yours but we have one thing in common they are the best years. I am someone who struggles in school and i have to work very hard to get good grades. I wish it were diffrent where i could just read the book and know it all but no i have to do it the hard way. I love all the freedom we have. All the teachers are very inviting and want you to succead. I really don't like all the homework but its worth it because you learn all the material. It's also so exciting to be in high school. You feal so grown up it is so amazing.
well thanks for reading talk to you guys soon.
