**//__ I. History __//** North Carolina is a great state, from its phenominal places, and its exiting history. North Carolina's state nickname is The Tar Heel State and their state motto is "Esse Quam Vider". North Carolina applied for statehood in 1789 and became the 12th state to join the union. North Carolina's state flower is the Flowering Daywood and The Cardinal is it's state bird. As you can tell North Carolina is a glourious state to visit.

Like all states North Carolina has an exiting history. In 1903 when the Wright brothers flying the first successful powered airplain in Kitty Hawk. I am going to visit this historic site on my trip to North Carolina. On November 21 North Carolina became the 12th state to join the Union. This was a very important day in North Carolina, because this was the day North Carolina became a state. In 1933 North Carolina took over support of public schools, This event was very important because on that day all kids could be educated no matter how rich or poor. Another great historic event happened 1972 when James E. Holsher Jr. became the first republican govoner to be elected since 1896. I would say that the most historic event was in 2009 when Beverly Predue became the first woman to be govoner of North Carolina. I think that this is the most historic event in North Carolina history because it shows to the state of North Carolina that women can have equal power as men.

There are many reasons why I would like to go to North Carolina. First on my trip I would really like to visit the college of Duke University, because some day I would like to go there to school and it would be helpful if I visited it. Duke is my favorite basketball team in the world so you can bet that I will go to a game. On my trip I will also go to Kitty Hawk to see where the Wright brothers flew the first powered airplane. I think it would be cool to go to visit the Wright brothers Memorial, and see all the accomplishmeants the they made. Another reason I would like to go to North Carolina is because I would love to see Grandfather Mountain in real life. I think it would be really cool to see that because the mountain is in the shape of a persons face. There are many reasons why I would like to go to North Carolina.
