In the last few decades the growth and development within our area has grown exponentially, land that was completely vacant fields and farmland has been replaced with shopping centers and freeways, expanding with the population increase in recent years.

    While learning English at an institute in Austin, the school proposed a field trip to San Antonio to visit the Mission San Jose and go to the River Walk. Although I had no idea what the missions were, thought it would be an interesting experience. As soon as we arrived to the mission, I realized San Antonio, Texas had such a rich and relevant history, and that I was located in a place that numerous of important historical events had happen on. They gave us a tour of the special museum and explained to us what the tools displayed on the museum were used for, and later on, took us to the church and walked us though the entire property. Perhaps it is difficult to believe, but I felt extremely interested in something I had never heard before. Therefore, when I was assigned a paper about a place in Texas, the first place it came to mind was the Mission San Jose, so I decided to go again to refresh my mind after having learned a great deal about the missions in Texas, the purposes of it as well as the results.
