The U.S has illeagal immigrants coming into it everyday. Also living in Texas we have many immigrants coming across the border from Mexico. Many people come for work and for freedom. There are many freedoms in the United States that other countries dont offer, there for making the United States a place where many want to live. Some of these freedoms include religous freedom, the freedom of speach, and the freedom of the press. These freedoms are valued by many to be worth dying for. For those of us who have these freedoms we take them for granted, but for those who don't they are worth life to have. Living in a surppressed world is unimagineable for those of us who don't live in one. Often though when it does come to getting these freedoms people do try to get them illegaly. For those who do make it illeagaly there come some hardships to face before reciveing their freedom. With out a greencard there are many jobs that you can't recive. There is also a fines to pay and there are certain requirements to which the person must fufill. To gain a green card there are certain age and education requirements. So as you can see our country has a very specific way of dealing with these kinds of issues.
The past 2 weeks of my life have been less stressful than those of the previous weeks. I have been settleing more and more into the very high strung way of high school. As the weeks do go by I realize how my teachers want things done and how I should use my time. But I'm still learning the ropes to some degree. This past weekend i had my very first diving meet. I have been a diver for only about 2 weeks now. It was even more stressfull being i was the only one being added to the team and that all the other divers have been diving for at least 3 years some as many as 10. Even despite the odds I'm continuing to amaze myself as to how I am improving. In my first meet i placed 6th out of 7 witch for me was unbelievable. Not only for me to go through with one of the most nerve racking things of my life but i also didn't score last place. I have another diving meet this weekend so i will be sure to say how it goes!
