When Obama was quoting Teddy Roosevelt and how he broke up monopolies, or establishing our national park systems, or when he is talking about Dwight Eisenhower and how the government under his watch started the interstate highway system, he noted that during all of these big changes there was also resistance from the public but if we look back on the matter now we couldn’t live without some of these systems that were put in place.

I would have never thought that I was going to take the highway that day and I learned some valuable pointers alongside. I have always been fascinated by highways, as they would cause me to become languid and at peace.

known as Junction Highway, and every place that has ever been important to me I have gotten to by using this road. On Junction Highway I have driven home from school feeling exhausted from whatever practice that I experienced that day, but still smiling as I rolled the windows down on my 2005 baby blue beetle, and let the fragrant hill country breeze blow my hair in my face. I've watched the golden pink and purple orange sunsets, and enjoyed countless songs on the radio. Junction Highway has…
