Personal Narrative: My Road Trip To Texas

Thirdly, Texas continues to be a fast growing state in the nation, adding some 150,000 new residents a year for the past half-decade or so. Texas is the second most populous state in the US. In recent decades, it has experienced strong population growth. Texas has many major cities and metropolitan areas, along with many towns and rural areas. Much of the population is in the major cities of Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, Austin, and Fort Worth. As of 2012, the state has an estimated 4.1 million foreign-born residents; constituting approximately 15% of the state population. An estimated 1.7 million people are illegal immigrants. Personal income didn't grow as quickly in 2013 as it did the previous year, thanks largely to the end of the payroll tax holiday, but Texans fared better than residents of most other states.

Texas is ranked the second biggest state in size and is also ranked the second in population. According to CBS, Texas has around 28,000,000 residents which comes in second to California’s 40,000,000. Between 2015 and 2016 the Texas population grew in number by approximately 430,000, which is more than any other state has ever grown. The population has doubled in the last 36 years. It is projected that the population will double by the year 2050 due to people moving to Texas for their families and prospective jobs. There are 5 cities in Texas which are among the fastest growing cities in the U.S., these consist of Georgetown, New Braunfels, Frisco, Pearland, and Pflugerville. Texas gains more out of state residents than any other state.

Texas is one of the most populous state in the United States. As in April 2010 Texas has a population of 25,145,561 (Population estimates base). From 2010 to 2016, Texas population increased 11 percent (Population, percent change).

The birds, squirrels, and fishes living in tranquility. The daylight there is an early riser, while the night feels like a mother rocking her baby; peaceful. Therefore, the nights are so still that only the beautiful harmony of the crickets could be heard. The green tree looks so alive, they were standing large and stiff. There was even the opportunity of exploring the mountain trails. It was amazing being able to experience something completely different, especially when it was just a few days from starting my junior year. The memories from that trip will be unforgettable.

I did not know anybody. The closest person that I knew was a six hour drive away, not even in the same state as me. The day that I moved to Texas was the day that I left my sense of security behind – everything I had ever known was taken from me, and having no say in this discouraged and frustrated me. Being part of an expat family accustomed me to moving, but this time it was different. The transition from living in Qatar to living in Texas physically and mentally exhausted me, but, with the right skills and resources, I was eventually able to overcome it.

Texas is a wonderful state where there is various cultures, traditions, ethnic groups, and religions such as the Germans, Irish, Polish, and more. Texas is made up of various ethnic groups that are all special in their own unique way. Many Europeans groups immigrated Texas during the 1820s. There is a total population of 26.96 million of people in Texas. It is the second largest state in population in the U.S. after California.

When I arrived in Dallas, I was legitimately surprised to see that people in Texas were normal. They were not all wearing cowboy hats and boots with pistols tucked into their belts. I was ten years old, and I had just become accustomed to life in Missouri, right after leaving to Texas. Previously, I had moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Missouri when my dad’s job relocated us. Then, my dad quit his job and decided to pursue his dreams of owning a cattle ranch because his job had asked he relocate us to White Plains, New York. While his worst nightmare was being forced to live in a crowded, bustling urban municipality, mine included simply moving again.Visions of tumbleweed and desert haunted me the days following his announcement.

At the age of 5, I came to the United States from Mexico, and ever since society has shaped me to who I am today. Having been born in another country the major social problem or force that affected my life has been that I am an immigrant.

Living in Dallas Texas is not so bad. I lived in an apartment building that was not so big, but the worst part was that there were tons of roaches. So we decided to move to Frisco.Also my dad has a job there. As the last few days of school came we started packing. It was hard because my brother was giving a hard time to my Mom. On the last day of school we left to go home. We had a scheduled flight to Puerto Rico to visit some relatives. After we came back we went to Houston to visit my cousins. They stayed with us for a month in my house, then after days of packing they left and we started packing. We did a lot of shopping P.S I HATE SHOPPING oh and P.P.S. I only like shopping if it's for me. We had most of the stuff in backpacks & suitcases,

Before my big move to Houston about three years ago for college, it was my last summer back home in a little city called Amarillo, which is considered “West Texas,” although it’s actually located geographically north within the heart of the Texas Panhandle. I was enjoying every last bits of the time that I’ve had left with my friends and family. The last thing I could think of worrying about during that summer was a romantic relationship. My intentions were to make bittersweet memories and to have what they would call, fun. I went out almost every single weekend for the first month of my last summer and met tons of friends and I became closer to old casual friends. Within that first month of consistently going out and hanging out with all these friends that I became close to, I met a very sweet, charming, and interesting guy named Andy. Something about him caught my attention. He was silly and funny without even trying, so I took an interest in him. We started messaging each other on Facebook then texting and making polite conversations. Before I knew it, this was the starting point to a whole new friendship. When he first messaged me, as much as I hesitated to respond to him because I knew I was moving and I did not want to develop feelings just leave everything behind, I wanted to not just respond but to strike more conversations. I became curious about him and I wanted to find out more and more.

All i could hear was the crowd of people chanting ’’Fight’’at my high school,and my friends just standing there in the distance watching me get beat up.I came home ready to go back to school to talk about the bully situation showing them my cuts and bruises to the principal for proof.When we were arriving home me and my dad had a little talk about moving to texas mostly for work reasons but the only problem is that my dad will not be there when i come home from school.After the discussion I had with my dad we all started packing up and my mom comes in my room and says ‘’are u ready to leave and go to texas’’ I slowly nod my head because i will miss my friends but i will not miss those bullies.As soon as we arrived i glanced at the school i

The blazing sun was just breaking over the horizon on this particular July day between my freshman and sophomore year. It bathed me in golden rays that warmed my skin. Despite this, a chill dripped down my spine, and my heart jittered about in my chest as my mom drove me toward the unknown and uncertain future. I was about to embark on a treacherous journey: a backpacking trip through the Colorado mountains. The car hurdled over the wandering asphalt until I arrived in a parking lot where an ominous white van waited to carry me toward my destiny.

The road trip to Sedona from Las Vegas was exciting, for the first hour. If I was writing this story fictionally, I would have told you that the five-hour road journey was a blur, in real life it wasn’t. On the US-93 highway, there were to choices look outside or stare at my lap or foot. Neither were exiting. Most of the time I looked outside to see an empty dessert speeding past me. On this desolate desert, there is a terrible problem, there isn’t any Wi-Fi. As I looked outside I thought that I might die of boredom. A five-hour long road journey without Wi-Fi meant no watchable movies nor any playable games. This boredom continued for about five hours.

I at my cousins house one day and they said they were going on a trip to Tennessee and I was like wish I could go. My cousin was like me to but she would not ask. So, me being a savage in all I had to ask.I walked up to my uncle and got a unexpected and answer can I go on the trip with ya’ll he said if it’s ok with your parents.I was like I will be back in a little bit.I ran straight and just ignored my bicycle I was in like a minute we don’t live but 13 acres apart. I asked and they said if it’s alright with them sure. I was like yeah!I was so happy sure enough the next week they got me from school and I had a very long ride ahead of me. I fell asleep for about an hour of the trip.When I woke up we were in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. That’s where
