On the way to the museum, I was doubted about my trip to the museum that it will be worthy or not. However, when I reached in museum, I find many things

For the entirety of my seventeen years I have lived in San Antonio. I have left Texas three times to visit colleges. I have lived on the west and east sides of San Antonio. Both left their marks.

Prostitution, gang violence, and kidnap polluted the world outside my home. I had to understand Spanish to take part in that world. If I could not pronounce "la Michoacán"

Another intriguing topic found on the website was the reason for settling. Settlers did

this is a little too far into the story. Let`s go back to about a day before. It was a regular mildly warm July day in Illinois. But on that day my family and I were going to move to San Antonio. My parents are always so vague when telling me the dates to events. I already knew that we were going to move to San Antonio. I had boxes filled with my things ready for the trip. But I didn 't know that we were going to move that day. So I treated it like a normal day and did my daily grind of video games

They were originally named the Dallas Chaparrals, then the Texas Chaparrals, which both played in the ABA, but then were changed to the San Antonio Spurs in 1973 and joined the NBA in 1976.

In the summer, it can get really hot just like here in San Antonio, however, that is where the similarities end for me. The main differences I have noticed between San Antonio and Yakima are the population, the size of the roadways, and the winters.

There are roughly 1,470,000 people in San Antonio City. It doesn’t seem to matter how many places I visit
