my story is not long, and if fact not much of anything. The effect of the storm is more than anyone could imagine and what I went through is more than words could say. I became very indigent at a young age, to the point of having to go to different food banks with my parents. However, I have never in my life been more thankful for my family and friends than I am now. I am so thankful for the life I currently live and it's all because of a storm. yes, the times we're hard but instead of always focusing on going through the bad, I learned to focus on what can come out of it. I currently have more than I did pre-katrina.
