Will the city of San Antonio be closing the Amalmo?

I am interested in if they are going to close the Alamo. This is a historic landmark that the foundation of Texas history is built on. The Alamo is in the heart of downtown San Antonio and it has been standing since 1836.  Although it has had to have some help with something to keep thing safe for the tourist. I grew up in San Antonio it I remember when I was in Elementary school being so excited for the Alamo field trip. It would be so sad and outrage so many people if it were to close.
Change is never easy with the Alamo by Josh Brodesky.  The article is about the contoverse of whether the city of San Antonio should shut down the Alamo or not. Brodesky gives us facts about the history of the Alamo and the significance of it importance to San Antonio. The battle of the Alamo shaped the way Texas is and how we stand our grounds.
"This reality puts certain spin on the emotional debate about how the Alamo should evolve." As politics run through the courts and take over from Republican to Democrat, the big controversy of whether the Alamo should stay open or close it. I know personally that being born and raised in San Antonio this is more than just a historical landmark the Alamo has become a tradition to not only me personally but its affected lives in someway some how.
I think my blog is an informative, first of all, if they take a vote on whether it'd be closed or stay open, people will be more informed about what is happening. Another reason would be I didn't know about this until I went back home and people were talking about it. Lastly, I believe that this should be really a state wide discussion because yes, the Alamo is located in the heart of San Antonio but its about Texas history.

    I think the Alamo is too important to Texas history to be shut down.

Blog 10- Intellectual and Personal skills that I have learned this semester

This semester has gone by so fast, this year has gone by so fast. Just a few months I was a high school student about to graduate. Now I’m a college student entering my last few weeks of my first semester. I have learned a lot of new techniques in the class room this semester such as how to take some quality notes, and communication between my professors. These were two things that I thought I knew but until college I proved myself wrong. I had always taken classes in high school that were supposed to help me in college, but it wasn’t until I was actually in college that I actually saw how these techniques were to help me. In my Learning Frameworks/EDUC- 1300 I actually took what I learned and used A LOT of it in. my everyday life. Communicating with my professors was another thing that was very difficult for me. In high school I would stay after class and talk to my teacher or I would go in before/after school and talk to them. With college professors it was very hard for me to manag...

History of the Macy Thanksgiving Parade

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and my favorite tradition is to t urn the T.V on to the Macys Thanksgiving Parade and start getting ready for a day full. I love to see all the different kind of floats, bands, marches, and just the energy of the parade gets me so excited and ready to kick start the holidays. The parade wasn’t originally sponsored by Macys but by the Philadelphia’s Gimbel Brothers General Store. According to The History channel  The First Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and Fobes The Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade 2016 By the Numbers ,”  the parade started out with 50 people, 15 cars, and firemen dressed as Santa Clause.” Who knew that just under 100 years of having the parade that there are now 26 floats, 8,000 participants, and 19 music acts.  The parade has evolved so much over the years and continues to grow. The parade contains so much history and hold so many traditions that I hope last for many more year. I know that I grew up watching the pa...

Difficult times

Maria’s children (her third-grade students) lives are similar to Marias because the come from the same background she comes from. They are different because even though they work in the fields they don’t move and work as hard as what Maria had to as a child. Her children are not afraid to sit up in the front of the class and participate in class, as for Maria she always sat in the back and wanted to go unnoticed. Maria states that “She understands what these children are going through because she was once like them.” She also says, “But unlike me, they will never do more than travel the country picking crops.” She understands that when the crops out of from being picked that they have to pack up and go to the next place. They do not have to go through the abuse her and her family went through. Maria now knows the signs if a child is being abused because she was once in the position. She really connects with her children because she was once that child who hoped around from school to s...
