  If I could live anywhere other than Texas I would live in Alaska. Alaska is such a beautiful state with vibrant wildlife. Everything there seems so peaceful and down-to-earth.

  If I had to choose to move to any state, it'd be Florida. The beaches are so pretty there, and the rest of the scenery is also very beautiful. Disney World is in Florida too and it'd be fun to go there on vacation.

  If I had to live somewhere else other than Texas, I would live in Florida. I chose Florida because I love the beaches there. They have white sand and blue water. It is very relaxing to me to go there and walk down the beach in the morning. They have the most beautiful shells and there are lots of vacation spots there.

  If I had to move to another state in the U.S., I would move to Colorado. Colorado is a great place for skiing, and the landscape is breathtaking. The weather there is quite different from over here, with cool, breezy days and plenty of snow. I also like the neverending mountains, the beautiful, snow-capped trees and the large variety of wildlife.

  If I could live in any state other than Texas I would pick Hawaii. Hawaii is a beautiful state with a lot of palm trees and exotic flowers. The number one reason to live there is because of the amazing weather. The average temperature year-round is 75º F between the warmest weather in August and the coldest weather in January. The weather in Hawaii makes a person feel active and alive. The time I was there I spent most of my day outdoors doing different activities like hiking, jogging, shopping, and swimming (not really because I broke my arm right before the trip) and never got tired. I can imagine myself walking on the beach every morning and watching the sunrise.

  I would like to live in Hawaii, since I have heard it is a wonderful place to be. Although it does not snow there, the climate is apparently lovely. For example, the summer’s highest temperature is in the upper 80s; during the night, it’s in the mid 70s. In addition, the pictures I have seen are truly gorgeous. Scientific research has found that Hawaii have the least depressed people in the United States, which is good for everyone's health. Furthermore, the weather is perfect for swimming, which is one of my favorite pastimes. Therefore, if I had to leave the Lone Star State, I would probably want to move to Hawaii. (Also known as the Aloha State)

  If I had to move, I would move to South Carolina. I would want to live in Hilton Head because I like the beach. I was able to parasail when I visited this summer. I went sailing. I like the big trees and Harbortown with the lighthouse. I think I could get a job operating the boat for parasailing.

  If I had to live in another state, I would want to live in Alaska. I would want to live in Alaska because it is never to hot there. I also love the landscape there; all the mountains, forests, lakes, and glaciers. One of my favorite things about Alaska is the wildlife there, especially the bears and moose. That is why I would want to live in Alaska.

  If i could move I would move back to Washington. I would live in Washington because I love rainy and cold weather. I love playing in the snowy weather as well. Also I would get to see all my friends that I haven't seen in more than a year. I would also live there because just about every person in my family lives there. Another reason is that there is great mountains to ski on there, and I love to ski. That is why if I had to leave Texas I would move back to Washington.

  If I had to live in another state besides Texas it would probably California. I chose California for multiple reasons one of the reasons is because, there is a beautiful beach in California and I love the beach. Another reason is because, I here there is tons of famous people that live in California. I've always wanted to meet someone famous. One other reason I would like to live in California is because its just so beautiful weather wise, and appearance wise. That is why I would want to live in California

  If I had to move to another state I would move to Colorado. Colorado is such a beautiful state. It is perfect for skiing and tubbing. Colarado to me always fells crisp and fresh which is one of my top priorities if moving. Also the view of the mountains is breathtaking!

  If I were to move to another state, it would be Washington, because it actually snows about 200 cm on average there compared to Texas’ average! I would like to see the sights, because they seem very interesting. I have never seen them, but I have heard and seen pictures of the memorials, monuments, and more. Also, when I graduate from high school, I would like to attend Washington's state university. (It seems like a good college.) So, in conclusion, I would want to move to Washington if I could move there because of the wondrous things.

  If I had to move to another state I would either North Carolina, some-wear near Asheville, Ketchikan, Alaska, or Destrehan, Louisiana. Two of summers ago we went to North Carolina, It was beautiful! We rented a cabin in the mountains, and went skiing and hiking. Asheville is one of the coolest towns I have ever visited. They have an old Woolworth's store. It is an art gallery and they sell old neigh-high sodas and they make a wonderful banana split. I love old buildings/museums and unique architectural designs and that city has an abundance of them!
  I would want to live in Ketchikan because they get so much rain that they have no needs for underground pumps. That seems really cool to me (I also love rain storms). We went to Ketchikan this summer for vacation. It was beautiful! It's also an island, only accessible by boat or plane.
  Another place I would want to live if I had to move is Destrehan, Louisiana. I lived there for nine years of my life. It's right next to the mississippi river, and about twenty miles upriver from New Orleans. The food is GREAT there. After moving from there a year ago, I was discussed with the food here, it didn't taste any were near as good as the food in New Orleans.

  If I could move to any other state, I would live in would be Alaska. I would live there because I have lived there before and I LOVED it. The snow, the way it never gets too hot, my old friends, and one of my favorites the way it looks and smells. Hmmmm. It smelled of pine and salt water. When the sun is falling behind the mountains the sides shines bright and sparkles. Nothing compares. It is nice here but I do miss it there.

  If I had to move to another stae, I'd go to Alaska. I'd choose that state above all because it is so cool there, as in temperature. I love cool weather and snowy mountains. I'd be able to go snowboarding everyday if I wanted to. I also love huskies. I'd be able to see fascinating animals I've only seen on television in Alaska!

  If I had to move to another state in the U.S.A other than Texas, I would choose Florida. I would choose Florida because of the tropical and the temperate feeling and temperatures that they get to experience there. I would also move to Florida because of the exotic and breath-taking clear water beaches. Because, if I could live near an awesome beach I could probably go swimming almost every single day, even though I swim in our pool here in Texas. But, I guess it is a different experience with pools and beaches. I would also choose Florida because that is where NASA- Kennedy Space Center is located. Since, we can’t pick Texas, and Texas and Florida have the main stations of NASA, I would also choose Florida for that reason. The first time I went to NASA here in Texas, I was really impressed with the braveness and the dedication men and women put on to going to space even if it meant maybe losing their lives. And, I sometimes wish that I can visit there more often. I would also choose Florida because, I have to pick someplace other than Texas, and I don’t want to travel a long way to just visit NASA whenever I want to. I would also choose Florida because, of its entertaining theme parks such as, Busch Gardens at Tampa, Disney World, Discovery Cove, Silver Springs, Universal Orlando and many many more. Right now, I can’t help but wonder how much of fun I am missing out at Florida!!!!!!!!!

  If I had to move somewhere, it would be Flint, Michigan. I would like to move there because alot of my family lives there and I was born there. Also, it snows every winter. I love the snow and I would like to live where it snows often.

  If I had to move to a different state, I would choose Colorado. I moved from there two years ago so I have a lot of friends. Plus, all of my family lives there. I love the mountains and the fresh air. It is very beautiful there, and I love how different the seasons are. Colorado is a great place to live.

  If I could live anywhere, I would live in Washington. I would live there because I was born there, but I only lived there until I was three, so I don't really remember it. That's why I would live there, so I can be in my birthtown. I've seen pictures of famous landmarks in Washington, and some of them are really pretty.

  If I had to move to a different state than Texas, I would move to Oklahoma. All my family lives in Texas, and most of them live in the Dallas area. It would take the least amount of time to travel to see my family on holidays. I also love to watch the professional athletic teams in Texas (Cowboys, Rangers, and Mavericks), and would still be able to attend the games if I lived in Oklahoma. That is why I would move to Oklahoma if I had to leave Texas.

  If I had to move out of Texas I would move to Alaska. I have always loved nature and everything about it. I love to explore, too. The best place to truly experience the wilderness is Alaska. I would love to live out by myself with miles before the next neighbor.

  I would live in Massachusettes. From what my dad has told me Massachusettes is not to hot but a little colder than Texas. He says that you can see the stone walls from when the pilgrams lived there. He sayd he loved all the sights, but he is also a History and Geography teacher. I could also see one of my favorite baseball teams the Boston Red Socks. It would be a great place to live.

  If I had to live in any other state besides Texas, I would probably choose to live in Hawaii. I have never been to Hawaii and would really like to go there. I absolutely love going to the beach to do anything, whether it’s sitting in the water relaxing or running around with friends doing whatever. Hawaii would be a beautiful place to live, with palm trees, the diversity of wildlife, the changing terrain, and the beautiful beaches with amazing marine wildlife. Hawaii would probably be the one state I would want to live in if I couldn’t live in Texas.

  If I had to move to a different state other than Texas I would move to Tennessee. I chose Tennessee because of many reasons. What I like about Tennessee is that it is the home of country music, and they host the annual Country Music Awards. I really would enjoy being able to go to the country music awards and listen to good, meaningful music. Another thing that I like about Tennessee is the weather. In the summer it's not to hot but warm enough to go swimming, in the fall it starts getting cooler and the trees create beautiful foliage, in the winter Tennessee gets snow a few times, and in the spring plants start blooming and the weather warms up. Tennessee also is known for the natural landscaping and I think it would be something to truly look at. One day I want to take a trip there and see what it is like with my own eyes and not just from what I hear.

• Megan M. 4th period

  If I had to move out of the state I now currently live in I would either move to Hawaii or to California. The reason why I would move there because I think that they are the most beautiful places in the United States. Another reason I would move there is because they have beautiful beaches and clean beaches that have clear water. I LOVE the beach and I go to Galveston almost every weekend and I love it. But I would much rather have a clean pretty beach like Hawaii and California. And that is why and where I would move if I had to move out of the state.

• Maggie R. 5

  Man! What a question. If I had to choose a state other than Texas it would most likely be California. California has all kinds of landforms. There are the beaches, some mountains, and a National park. There are also fields and fields of citrus fruit crops. I LOVE ANY KIND OF CITRUS FRUIT!! I think it would be interesting to compare the water to Galveston’s water. California also has the biggest trees, called the redwood. I heard that you can drive a car through the trunk of one….a car!!! The things that I would be worried about would be the earthquakes and forest fires. I have never been through an earthquake and I am extremely afraid of them. Also, it would make me nervous if the fire would be a big one and would take a while to put it out. But, who doesn’t love Texas?!? Texas is still my number one.

  If I had to move I would move to New York City. I would chose this because my mom and I love to shop and I think it would be really exciting to shop in New York. I would also enjoy seeing all the museums and sights there such as the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty,and Central Park. I have never been in a lot of snow before because I have only lived in Texas. I think I would have a lot of fun in the snow during the winters. Maybe I could even learn to ski. If I had to move this is why I would like to move to New York.

  If I had the choice to move to any state in the United States, it would probably be New York. I am in love with crazy and different places. I have loved New York even sense I was very little. I am also a huge fan of Broadway. I love theatre and plays! I have always dreamed about going to a huge broadways show, and living in New York would definitely help make my dream come true! New York is a place filled with life, and excitement! It matches the kind of person that I am. The only bad this about New York is the traffic, but I would get used to it very easily. The shops, I would die for! Many places have a certain fashion trend, unlike New York! In New York everyone is a little bit different and unique in there own way, which I think a lot more places should be like! I love the New York weather, snowy! I think that it would be beautiful! The Statue Of Liberty is such a beauty, that one landmark is definitely one of my favorites, it is so unique! There is many reasons that New York would be my dream life style!

  If I had to move to a state besides the one I currently live in, I would pick California. There are many reasons I would choose California because I love skateboarding and skateboarding originated from there. There are also a lot of famous people that are residents in California including professional skateboarders. It is most likely I will meet famous people on the streets of Hollywood than the streets of Friendswood. California is a beautiful place because of the landscape. There are beaches and in the winter there is snow. The mountains are magnificent. Some of my family also lives there and I barley get to see them. California is a great place and I would like to go there again one day.

  I have always wanted to live on a farm and raise animals out in the country. That's what my dad did when he was a boy. So if i GOT to move to a different state, my choice would be Kentucky! That is where all my family is and i miss them more than the world. I would also have a chance to go watch my "cousin" race in the Kentucky dirby. But I would kill to have horses and be able to ride them EVERY day, and wake up and smell the aroma of animals. And just to wake up and go to the farm to get a chicken egg instead of going to H.E.B. I would even love snow during the winter. But that i know for a fact, is where i want to live.

  If i could live anywhere else than Texas it would be Florida. It has amazing, beautiful beaches and I also love Disney World because I went there for Christmas and I thought it was one of the happiest places in the world. When I was litle we went to Destin and I thought that the beach was incredible and it had a really nice hotel. My favorite reason is that the weather is not too cold or not too hot.

  If I had to move to a different state I would no doubt move to New Jersey. I would move there because I am a native from N.J. I lived there until I was six and LOVE the snow. It would be a great experience to move back there to see how much Texas has affected how much I can stand the cold. Also, I would like to move back there to be closer to my family. Most of my family live in the northern states and I hardly get to see any of them. It would be nice to get to see them more often than just once a year.

  If I had to move to any other state besides Texas, I’d move to Michigan. I love Michigan because of the snow, and it doesn’t get as hot as it does here!!! I like the scenery, too. The Great Lakes are so beautiful and when the sun shines on the water, it takes my breath away.

  If I had to move and live anywhere besides Texas, I would definitely live in Colorado. I would live there because first and most importantly, I love it there. I would love to move there because, the air is so fresh and unpolluted. Also, I ski alot and Colorado has amazing ski places, runs, and resorts. Finally, I would like to live there because Colorado Springs is the figure skating capital of the world, and I love to figure skate. I really hope that after college, I will move to Colorado.

  If I were to move to a different state I would have to pick California. Not only because of the song "Hotel California"(one of my family's favorites),but also because of breath-taking scenery of the beaches and cliffs, and there are some fatastic circuses I would love to see. Not to mention Hollywood! It would be awesome to see how movies are made and acted out. I can't wait to go to California!

  If I had to move to a different state it would be Florida. I would like to move to Florida because of the beautiful ocean. I go there every year on vacation and never want to leave, but my sunburn always makes me want to leave. I love the weather too because in the summer it is perfect for swimming and there is usually a shower every evening. Most people don't like a bunch of rain, but I love to read or sleep indoors when it is raining and just relax. Besides the ocean, Florida is really pretty with all there sand and the beautiful sunset every night. Florida is also a great place to shop and there is plenty of fun things to do like go to Disneyworld or Seaworld. I think Florida is a great place, but it might just be best for vacationing, I will always love Texas.

  9/15/2009 3:32:13 PM
• Kaitlin M 4th period

  That's kind of hard, because I would NEVER leave Texas, but it's also easy because the winner is Hawaii, hands down. I've never actually been there before, but Mom and Dad went once (and left us with our grandparents- unfair!!) and said it's really nice. And I'd LOVE to learn to scuba dive, and, to no one's surprise, see the dolphins.

• Morgan H. 7

  I have been on vacation with my family a couple of times and although I have not been to too many other states I really liked Colorado Springs,Colorado. The most obvious reason would be the scenery, especially in the winter when there is snow everywhere. I would love to learn how to ski and snowboard and become good at it. In the summer, I could hike in the mountains, ride horses and even go fishing in one of the most beautiful places in the country that I have ever seen. I think that it would be healthier for me to be in the fresh air.

  If I could move anywhere other than Texas, it would be Florida because it has a nice warm climate, and it has great scenery. I would love going to the beach almost everyday and just playing. Forida has great theme parks, and places where you could just have fun. To me, Florida is a place where you could just lay back and relax,and I love to do that.

  IF I could live anywhere besides Texas, I would want to live in Normandy, France. I would want to live there because Normandy was home to major battles during WW1 and WW2. That way I could visit all of the German batteries, and all of the beach heads from Operation Overlord (D-Day). Also, I would want to live there because there are bakeries around every corner with lots of French pastries, like French Bread (I love French Bread). Normandy is also home to many neat castles, like Mont Saint Micheal. And Normandy is only a few hours away from Paris, France. Living in France also gives me a chance to talk to the civilians that were alive during WW2. It also gives me a chance to learn the French langauge very well, not just in school with textbooks and stuff. I've always wanted to learn another langauge. I think Normandy, France is amazing!!!

  If I had to live some place other than here, I would move to Hawaii. Hawaii is a beautiful state with sunny beaches, clear blue water that sparkles when the sun hits it just right, tropical palm trees and gorgeous flowers. If I moved there, I would get a house by the beach and go swimming, snorkeling, or beachcombing every day. I could watch the sunset, reflecting in the water, turning it a beautiful shade of pink, while practicing volleyball on the shore. I could even go hydrosliding more often. Even though Hawaii is one of my favorite states, I still believe that there is no place like home, no matter where that is.

  9/15/2009 9:35:00 PM
• Stephanie N. 2nd Period

  If I had to move to any other state besides Texas, I'd move to Florida, home of Disneyworld. I like Florida because the climate is very much like Houston, and you can see beautiful beaches and crystal water with a lot less money spent. The only con with living in Florida would be the hurricanes, so I would try to live in a more mainland place or have a good evacution plan!

  9/15/2009 9:44:04 PM
• Jack Lutz 7th

  If I had to live in any other state besides Texas I would live in Wisconsin. I would love to live there because I moved from there when I was going into sixth grade. One reason I would like to move back is because everything was very close. You could walk everywhere such as all the schools and downtown to all the points of interests. Also Door County, the beach, and practically everywhere else in Wisconsin was only a short drive away. I also loved the summer when it wasn't too hot or cold so you could do practically anything. You can also go to the beach which most people probably think you can't. My favorite season in Wisconsin is winter. I love it when school is cancelled because there is too much snow. Then you call your friends and hang out in the mountains of snow. Then you go inside and drink a warm cup of hot cocoa. That is why I would want to move to Wisconsin.

  If I had to move anywere but here I would choose Califonia. You can surfboard or snowboard wich is great cuase I love thesnow and water. It always has a good temperature. They are very "green" there and Stanford University is located there and that's were I want to go to collage.

  If I had to move to another state besides Texas, I would move to Hawaii. I have been there and enjoyed it. It is beautiful and has lots of things to see and do. I love the beaches, and going to the volcano's where the lava runs into the ocean and causes steam to rise. Hawaii has lots of different flowers and animals that we don't have in Texas. Everywhere you look is beautiful. I would prefer to live on the island of Maui, because it has prettier beaches than the Big Island of Hawaii. Those are the only two islands I have visited.

  I like to stay in Texas so I’ll be close to my friends and have fun together. But, if I had to move to another state, I’ll go to Hawaii. I want to move to Hawaii because it has very comfortable weather. It would be neither too hot nor too cold all year long. Hawaii is also famous for its beautiful beaches and volcanoes. I want to see all kinds of volcanoes over there especially when they erupt. It must be very shocking to see the lava flowing down to the sea. Hawaii also has special culture. I will enjoy watching the hula girls dancing and joining some traditional Hawaiian dances. I think that my family should move there or visit there to see the volcanoes, having fun at the beach, and watching the beautiful sunset and sunrise. It will make my parents relax and relieve the stress from their work. My mom says we might be there for Christmas; I can’t wait to see what Hawaii would be like.

  I would have to say, it would be nice to live in New Mexico, because its not too hot or cold. it would also be cool because there are AWESOME mountains that get covered in snow every winter, so I can always snowboard every winter. And also in the summer its usually swimming pool temperature, so I won't have to miss out on that. I've been on a vacation to Albuquerque and it was awesome. I got to learn how to snowboard with my dad. So anyways, that's where I'd like to move if I had to move anywhere.

  If I had to move to another state I would like it to be either California or New York because I love to shop and dance. It would be so cool to take a tour of the Statue of Liberty or look out your back dor and see it. I would want to move to California because you could see a bunch of stars walking around. If you were lucky you might be able to see a star while you are shopping!

  If it didn't have to be a state I would probably move to Sweden, but since it is I would move to either California or South Carolina. I picked these two, because they both have four seasons / different weathers. What I mean by this is that it's not hot / cold all of the time. Or like in Texas half and half: hot in summer and spring and barely cold in fall and winter. They're also not nearly as humid as Texas. Another reason I like both of them is that they're both have gorgeous sites, and are on the coast. The main reason I like South Carolina is because I used to live there, and I liked it. There was a cove in my backyard, and we would go fishing, boating, swimming, and my favorite canoeing. It also snowed and we would make huge snowballs and snow people. I have lots of happy memories from that place, and (if I could) I would like to go back and have more happy memories. Although I have never been to California I would really like to go some day. My mom has been there quite a lot and says that it has lots of different features like mountains, desert, beaches, and the city. It is known for film production and making computers and their software, and those sound like something I would like as my career. They are also known producing good fruits, vegetables, nuts, and dairy products. I also love animals, and I'm guessing that there are lots of them there with all of the different landscapes. It also seems like a very fun place to go, since there are so many exciting things you can do there.

  If I had to move to another state, I would move to New York, where I would live in New York City. I would move there because New York is such a creative and artistic place. Everywhere you look, there are people performing! They are all so happy and full of hope! One day, I hope to move there and become an actress.
  There are a few more reasons I would like to live in New York. One, I love big cities, and you can't get much bigger than New York! Two, I would love all the shops and stores. Everything is so fabulous! And lastly, I would move there because there is so much to do, so I would never get bored!
  I think I've convinced myself to move to New York.........

  If I had to move to another state besides Texas I would like to live in New York. I would like to live in New York because New York has so many opportunities and cultures to explore. In New York they have many historical landmarks and events that happen in New York. I would love to see all the landmarks. Also, New York had many different seasons. They have very cool weather basically all year long and I like the colder weather. New York is one of the six fashion capitals of the world; I think that is very cool because you would have many different fashions come from all over the world. I would love to go to fashion shows, go shopping, and meet new and exciting people if I lived in New York. I think New York will be a very fun place to live.

  If I had to move to another state, I would move to the Washington, D.C. area. I would move there because for almost 6 years of my life I lived with my family at our house on Carvel Road in Bethesda, Maryland, which is adjacent to D.C. The house is located on the top of a hill in a little cul de sac. It is a two story, red brick house with an open attic and a basement. At the bottom of the hill, there is a park named Turtle Park where the climbing tree is. The climbing tree has many branches and is perfect for climbing because the branches are very close together like a natural ladder. It is very shady inside of the tree so the kids hang out in there to cool off in the summer time. In the winter, the park is flooded with kids and adults of all ages who come to sled down its very slanted, steep hill and to have snowball fights in the baseball field at the bottom of the hill.
  There are two other reasons I would move to the Washington D.C. area. One reason is because of all the museums, monuments, and parks. There are the Smithsonian Museums, the International Spy Museum, and the Crime and Punishment Museum, which are very fun and exciting museums. The Lincoln and Jefferson memorials are two of the many memorials in D.C. In the center of downtown is the Mall, a long, wide park with the Lincoln memorial at one end, the Washington monument in the middle, and the nation's Capitol building at the other end. Part of the Mall is lined with the Smithsonian Museums. The other reason to move to the D.C. area is that D.C. is a real people city. There are endless blocks of shops and sidewalk cafes, plenty of space to walk everywhere, many places to live right in the middle of the city, and great transportation such as, the subway system, buses and taxi cabs. For many reasons, I think the Washington, D.C. area would be an enjoyable and great place to live.

  If I could live somewhere else than where I currently live, I would choose California. California is a beautiful state with lots of sunshine and beaches, and I love both! Also, there are lots of groves of citrus fruits, and there might be a chance to see a celebrity! There is also San Fransico, Hollywood, and Disneyland, which are all places I would love to visit! California is very diverse, and beautiful, and it would be a great place to live! But I'm proud to be a Texan, and I don't plan on moving anytime soon!

  I would live in California because I have family there, I love the beach, and I love snow. It would also be nice to be able to go to Disneyland and see Hollywood. Because California has drastic changes in temperature, you can ski in winter and surf in summer. On top of all that,the scenery's beautiful.

  If I were to move to another state besides Texas, it would definetly be Colorado. Colorado is such a beautiful and peacful place, I don't know anyone that would refuse such an offer. Another reason I favor Colorado over Texas is the weather! I don't know about you, but I am not a fan of humidity! There, it snows every winter, and is still warm in the summer. One of my favorite things to do when I visit there is hiking. I especially love to hike after a soft white blanket of snow covers the ground. Skiing is also one of my all time favorite activities to do in Colorado. Skiing down the mountain in the morning, when the fresh snow has not been touched, is a feeling you will never forget. I remember the first time my family and I drove up to Pike's Peak, and snow was falling before my eyes, and it was just so amazing, sitting there enjoying a rather large cup of hot chocolate, staring at the beautiful view before me. The sights are astonishing in Colorado, and the outdoor activities are endless. So now you see why if I ever left Texas, it would be to move to Colorado, the Centennial State.

  If I had to move to a state besides Texas, it would be Alaska. From its vast, flowing, forestry, to its heavenly breezes and its snow covered mountains. This is an excellent place to live. Alaska also has protected wildlife, good clean air, and tree top houses. With all these attributes, who wouldn’t want to live here? Alaska is mostly a conservative state. About twenty cruises leave a day. And the same come into harbor. I would move here because I love the snow and fresh air. I love the way the wildlife runs free. And I love the spectacular views. Now I’m a Texan forever and always, but if I had to move my first pick would be Alaska.

  If I could live in any other state besides Texas, it would be Alaska. Alaska is a cold, snowy place that I would love. It provides entertainment, jobs, and beautiful scenery. If I lived in Alaska I would live in the town of Anchorage. It is a booming city, surrounded by mountains, trees, and tundra. For entertainment I could snowboard, eat, or just chill out on the patio, what more could I ask for. These are the reasons and activities that I would move to Alaska for.

  If I had to move to a different state, I would want to move to California. I would want to move there because it would be a good place to pursue my dreams of being a famous musician. Also, I like the California weather. I would most likely want to live at the Northern tip of California so I would be able to have some cold weather in the winter.

  If I had to move to another state besides Texas, I wold move to Albany, New York. Not only was my grandfather born there, but there are no natural disasters, other than snowstorms, and I love snow. I've also heard that Albany is a very beautiful city, and if I had a meeting in New York, I would only be about two hours away! I love being a Texan though, and hope one day to move to Albany, New York.

  If I had to move to a different state, I would move to Hawaii. This is because the scenery is gorgeous. I also love how diverse the terrain is. On the same day you could go to the beach and ski! The climate is also perfect in my opinion.
