I evacuated for Hurricane Katrina on a friday thinking that I was going to be back home by sunday. I only brought along three outfits along with me for the trip, but not knowing the great catastrophe that was going to arise. Hurricane Katrina destroyed my home it left us homeless, no clothes, no personal belongings, everything was destroyed. It broke my heart to see the walls of my home infested with this mold that just kept growing as the humidity increased in the rooms. I cried hard, and long because I never had pictured this hurricane to be so destructful that it took more than 1,000 lives in the city that I call home. My family and I ended up living in Spring, Texas, which is a small suburb in the outsides of Houston. We were provided with shelter for 2 months at a church along with 150 of other familes who were evacuees from New Orleans. I missed my high school, my pet, my bed, even things I never apreciated before like my city. Hurricane Katrina made me appreciate everything that I had, and will have in my future because in a blink of an eye everything including a life can be gone.
