Well, life is more difficult than it was prior to the hurricanes Katrina and Rita for myself and many others. The hurricanes delayed graduation for me by a semester and it has limited services and the way of life that I was used to living. I have also lost many friends and family members due to the storm because they have moved with little faith in the future of our great city. I was very fortnate in relation to many others with the damages to my possesions, home, and life, but still affected. I have great faith in the revival of the city, but it will take some time and cumbersome objectives along the way. Overall, I wanted to come back to the University of New Orleans, which I love, and ultimately I want to go on to graduate school here in the city. I love this city and state because they are truly special and unique, and like no other. I do not want to have to leave, but remain a New Orleans resident and live and work here after school. Let's keep working hard on our recovery!
