For Kayla Bhuiyan's 18th birthday she was given a white 2004 Toyota tacoma truck by her mom and dad as an early graduation gift. Her parents thought it was best to wait to give Kayla the car seeing as she would need a car for college.
"Looking back on it i'm glad my parents waited to give me the car till I was 18, because it tought me the satisfaction of waiting for something i really wanted," said Bhuiyan.
Now Kayla is 23 and still drives the same truck to and from work everyday.
"i've contemplated getting a new car but my tacoma still runs well and gets me from point A, to point B on a day to day basis," says Bhuiyan.
In her car Kayla has an abundance of art supplies including her sketch pad, art supplies box, ruler, and a lap desk.
"yeah i think my car says a lot about me," said Bhuiyan " with all the art supplies you can probably guess my career is in art...Im an architect ."
Apart from the art supplies, a few things you can also find in Kayla's car is an aux cord, a bunch of cassette tapes and CDs all ranging from Michael Jackson to Mac Demarco.
"i'd definitley say music is a huge passion of mine. I have a really broad taste in it as you could probably tell from my CD collection," Bhuiyan says.
One of the coolest parts of Kayla's car is that it has cassette player.
"The cassette player is my favorite part of my car. I like that is has something so old and overlooked now a days, i'm still trying to build up my cassette collection," confesses Bhuiyan.
Kayla has a dream catcher and old necklace hanging from her front mirror to add a bit of pizzaz to her car.
"The dream catcher and necklace were actually both given to me by my high school best friend Rachael, they're very nostalgic to look at now...i think thats why i keep them up", says Bhuiyan.
Overall Kayla Bhuiyan's truck gives a personal insight on who she is as a person. A professional architect, and music lover with a heart for a good momento of the past.

Long Response:
Read the story on page A1 "Trump: Firing was in the works before memo"
Comey was fired because of a longtime disagreement type situation between himself and Trump;Basically President Trump felt as if Comey had to much ''dirt'' on his career and he didn't want to be exposed nor harm his career more than he already does himself with all his uncalled for actions. Its important that the public is aware of administrative removal because it allows them to have and insight on how their government is really functioning beyond what they see in headlines. I think this story with Trump and Comey has gotten alot of attention because it is well known that Comey was well known for having a on going investigation on Trump.I 100% believe the media is justified to question the president because his action affect their lives and the country they live in. I Think with no doubt that there is a Trump and Russia connection because of all the recent stories being published and there should be an investigation done privately to keep another story like this happening again. But for the time being i think theres enough investigation going on with trump and russia.

captain phillips is a must-sea movie
The Film "Captain Philips" directed by Paul GreenGrass is based on the story of Captain Richard Phillips experience of his ship being hijacked by a team of Somali pirates.
In the film the audience is taken on the journey of Captain Richard Phillips(played by none other than Tom Hanks) as he embarks on what he thinks is going to be another one of his sea voyages.As he is at Sea his boat is taken over by a team of Somali pirates (Barkhad Abdi as Abduwali Muse, Faisal Ahed as Najee, Barkhad Abdirahman as Bilal, and Mahat M. Ali as Elmi) in search of money. The team of pirates hold the entire staff aboard the boat hostage, but Captain Phillips sacrifices himself to keep the lives of his staff safe. The pirates oblige to Captain Phillips offer of just taking him instead of the entire staff and the pirates take him into a bunker boat and hold him captive...
The audience demographic for this film is young-grown adults do to its language,and use of violence.
Personally i think this story turned into a movie was executed perfectly from the actors, to moral of the story. I think that casting Tom Hanks was an extremely smart move because well everyone is a sucker for a Tom Hanks movie so it was going to earn a lot of profit. Through the whole movie everyone around me and myself were all engaged in the movie the whole time because of the thrilling and gruesome visuals.However the only thing i didn't like about "Captain Philips" is how much of a cliche it is when compared to other movies in it's genre of 'heroic action' typical plot of; hero is good, hero faces hardship,hero lives in the end.
Overall "captain phillips' is a great movie and id recommend seeing it.
rating:4/5 stars

A sanctuary city is somewhere were immigrants can go to avoid conflicting with the government about possible deportation. Personally i believe sanctuary city are a great concept.Everyone deserves a place to feel. But with SB4 their will be no funding for the sanctuary cities,and allow officials in and invade the territory. SB4 will basically destroy the fundamental of the sanctuary cities and take away any form of safety net the sanctuary cities provided to immigrants.
Since we live in Texas and have a huge amount of immigrants we're going to see a huge decline in population and a lot more government officials than we would like.

LONG RESPONSE:
President Trump has lost his positive connection with Russia because of his order to bomb syria this week. Russia wanted to be alliances with Syria ,and now trump has ruined their chance. Russia feels betrayed and now don't trust the united states.
I beleive the shift in the Russia&U.S alliance is because of Trumps selfish tendencies and not considering others when doing so. From my view on the betrayal and lack of trust Trump gave off to Russia these two nations will contiue to argue and be in disagreement with one another.
With the recent reckless actions from trump lately his actions are going to directly effect us by sending us into a WW3.He has acted out negatively with no many nations lately and i beleive this one Russia is really pushing it over the edge, so i wouldnt be to shocked if it actually happened.

A sophomore at Hays high school Brynn Aylor was killed in a car accident this week.Brynn had been driving home after school and a curved road ,when a pick up truck had passed her. Aylor had reacted and jerked her car onto south bound traffic when she was hit by a ford explorer.Conner Musick, a student at Hays highs school had seen the whole accident happen, and he immediately went to Aylor's car to see her,but when he arrived he found her without a pulse,Aylor had died on seen.
To help prevent new drivers getting into situations like this, defensive driving courses should be offered at schools.Im about to start drivers ed ,and this accident has really spooked me into being a really cautious driver and know what to do when things don't go right.I don't think their should be controls in cars to stop drivers to not use their electronics, the driver should have enough common sense to not use their phone.Yes young teenagers should be allowed to drive because its apart of growing up.

LONG RESPONSE
I do not think former president Obama sent surveillance on president trump,with the evidence present, i just think trump as well as his staff were just looking for a news headline yet again.Though its not 100% determined if Obama is ,or is not responsible for the surveillance ,if he was not and this headline was just another hoax from trump i believe an apology to Obama from trump should happen.However I'm sure Trump will refuse to apologize theres nothing that cab further be done,and he'll just have to live with another made up story he's made up to get a bad rep on someone.The FBI are looking into trumps connection with Russia because of his recent foreign contacts with them, and i believe that he does in fact have concerning connections with russia. Due to many reasons such as his past words, tweets,and actions i do not trust president trump, but i trust the GOP leadership to do what is needed to trump if they find a violation from him.

When i was probably about 7 i remember being extremely confused about how/what i was supposed to believe in ,in terms of spirituality, god,and faith.
Majority of my friends were christian or catholic ,and frequent church goers, while i did not.
I was raised in a really weird upbringing of religious beliefs. My dad is muslim and ,my mom is catholic. Neither of them were heavy influencers in how i what i was supposed to believe in. My mom and dad never sent me or my sisters to church, but i vaguely remember going to sunday school with my neighbor who was also my best friend ,but the more i think about it now i defiantly only did that because it was convenient, but my parents always allowed me to so i did it, which is something else i really appreciate they did because they let me go out at a young age and find what i believed in,even if i fully couldn't comprehend.
The fact that my dad is muslim was always cool to me when i was young, especially where i was raised it is uncommon for kids to have a muslim parent.I always got to celebrate eid ,and have cool partys that were colorful and lively.A time that made me upset as a kid was when i learned about terrorists and how they came from where my family originates from and i got really ashamed of who i was when i was only about 10 years old.I often got asked what my religion i was and would just say catholic to fit in. But now i think about how half of my family is muslim and i think its so cool, and makes my different form others.
How ever now that im older and have the freedom my parents gave me as a kid to make my own beliefs, i actually came out atheist.And i genuinely think its because how conflicting both my religious surrounding were when i was young. None of the stories of how 'things came to be' made sence to me in the end, and still don't, as well as faith faith and destiny. The idea of giving yourself away to a god to decide what your life is to bring really blows my mind. I believe my life is made by my decisions that i are influence by my actions.
