terrorism

On September 11th, 2001, terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center in New York, a plane into the pentagon, and attempted to crash a plane into the white house.  Thousands where killed, and we are still rebuilding after the damage.  It was discovered that the terrorists where radical Arab muslims that belonged to a group called Al Queada, based in Saudi Arabia.  They where driven to attack the U.S by a hatred of the West and non-muslims.  The U.S government launched a "War against terror" to root out and stop the people that had attacked our country.  Even today that war still continues, with fighting in Afganistan and the continiung search for Osama Bin Laden, the financial leader of Al Quaedea.  

My School

I go to Anderson High School in Austin Texas.  It is a large school, or at least to me it is, since at my last school i had only 40 kids in my grade.  Ive only been going there for about 6 weeks now, but i already really like it.  The teachers are mostly cool, and alot of my friends from my old school go to anderson too.  There are alot of clubs and athletic groups,  I personally do football.  Its really cool, and ive had a lot of fun playing for Anderson.

Immigrants

In America, and especially in Texas, we have a lot of illegal immigrants.  Most of the immigrants in Texas come from Mexico, and have came across the border illegally to live in America.  They do this because America is a much better place to live, even as a poor person, than Mexico.  Mexico is a very poor and dangerous place.  I personally have no problem with these immigrants.  They do jobs many Americans dont want to do for little money, and are happy for it.  They are some of the hardest working and productive people in our country, and are just as American as all of us.
