If I could live anywhere...

If I could live anywhere, I would live In Santa Fe, New Mexico, because I have family in the New Mexican state, there's a beautiful scenery in every backyard, Santa Fe is a very artistic part of the world, and there are natural mountains with tons of activity within every season. When I went to visit my aunt's family, everyone in the area was friendly, and as we walked along the roads, we could tell the State was very artistically unique.
I'd like to live in Santa Fe, because of family. My aunt used to live in Toronto, and our families had gotten close. When she moved to New Mexico, she still visited us, and when I was six years old, I became the flower girl for her outdoor wedding. New Mexico had brought a lot of great memories, following by Christmas celebrations. We celebrated Christmas with my aunts family, and we walked along the pueblo homes, (Spanish houses with flat roofs). During the winter celebration, the Santa Fe people place candles in tons and tons of paper bags beside the sidewalks. (This may sound a little fire hazardous, but the candles in the bags have sand surrounding them.) A lot of my family memories in New Mexico had persuaded me to choose Santa Fe ( to live there)
A second reason why I'd want to live in New Mexico, is because the state isn't littered of packed Urban cities. In Santa Fe, where ever you go, you'll see the huge Sandia and Santa Fe mountains behind the city. In the summer, just a couple hours away, is the famous Grand Canyon. During one trip, my dad and his friends took a camping trip in the giant rock canyon. Last year, my aunt got to see the filming of the movie, 'The Lone Ranger'. The movie is in a desert scene, filmed in the New Mexican State. No wonder the crew had chosen the backgrounds of the deserts in New Mexico, having all its wild life!
One of my favorite hobbies is doing Art. In Santa Fe, there are tons of art shops, and artists. New Mexico also has a very interesting native cultural signs that are very unique.  To me, art is an important element, so The third reason why I chose Santa Feis because of the Art shops and the artistic cultures.
The Sandia and Santa Fe mountains have a lot of ski and snowboarding areas,and since I ski, I think
the mountains would be a fun activity. My aunt and uncle told me that they go hicking in the spring,and sight seeing in the summers.
If I could live anywhere, I'd stay in 'safe' North America and live in New Mexico, in Santa Fe. The cultures and outdoor activities made me choose this area.

My opinion on the news article

The 'Do over generation set to experience dead lock shock' article shows a good change in Canada's education.
In my opinion, in the 1990's, the children or students my age were less productive in school, and didn't learn enough at school, to the point that they weren't prepared for University, reality, the working world, or their own future. I don't think that the students around my age, up to High school had enough discipline, or learned responsibility either.
I agree with the article's message, that teachers should be allowed to deduct marks for late or missed assignments. I don't think it was fair to the High school students who'd worked hard to achieve, and brought assignments on time, just to almost get penalized. It was definitely making no sense when I read that students got away with missing assignments, and getting a credit still, when they'd missed almost twenty percent of class!
