My School

I go to Anderson High School, I am starting to like it a lot. At first, it was a little too big for me, but now that school is progressing, I am starting to like it more. Anderson is one of the biggest high schools in the state. In other words it is a 5a school. In it, there are three different stories, or levels. Floor one, the science and office floor. Floor 2, the math and social studies floor. And floor 3, the english and foreign language floor. I have classes on all three levels of the school.
Unlike most public schools in Austin, Anderson has no portables. What a portable is, is a little moveable building in which classes are held. Many of the public schools here have a whole lot of portables. I kind of like not having portables, because it saves a lot of energy. The walks to and from the portables can take a lot of time, which can lead to you being late to your other classes. Anderson also has a track. The track can both be fun, and not so fun. Because sometimes we have to run a lot. But now that I am adapting to a new school, I am really starting to like it.

Illegal Immagrants

Here, in America, we do have a problem with illegal immagrants. A big problem. Some of the things that we are doing right now to deal with them, is strengthening the border, and cutting down on the number of immagrants period. Some of the countries that we deal with are Mexico, and Cuba. Some of the hispanics come to the United States for freedom, and the opportunity to start a new life. Most of the Cubans though just come here to get away from situation happening in Cuba right now. Some of the immagrants also come here because they want to. I believe that that is ok.
I believe that if you are coming here to start a new life, that is ok. But if you are coming here just to escape from something, that is not. America is the land of opportunity, not the land of safety. Anyone running from a national disaster, or financial problems, need to be banned, or get permission from the United States government first. Many americans are angered by the hispanics coming to the United States for jobs. I am not angered by this. If they are willing to work hard for a living, and really try to do their best, then great. But if they do not want to work hard, then leave.
