My Katrina experience was very eventful. I felt homeless jumping from hotel to hotel from city to city. Having to watch the levees break in New Orleans made me very emotional and wonder if still would have a home. I hope that I will never have to endure something like that ever again. It has changed me and made me appreciate everything much more.
