What I was doing During Hurricane Katrina\r\n\r\nHurricane Katrina was the most horrible event that has happened to me. During the hurricane I had time to think about my life, and where I was going with it. My brother, sister, cousin, and I had to sit in my sister\'s car for 13 hrs just to get to Baton Rouge which usually only took about an hour and a half. When we arrived in Baton Rouge we took a break from driving, and when we were finished resting we drove off to Lake Charles to stay at a casino resort called L\'au Berge Du Lac. While in Lake Charles, we watched what was happening in the news dealing with Hurricane Katrina. When we saw what happened with the levees and the damage New Orleans received, my whole family was panicking about our house and grocery store back on the Westbank. We stayed in Lake Charles for a few days and then figured out that we had to leave the resort because we were wasting hard earned money staying there, so we decided to go to Houston to stay with some family members. \r\n\r\nWhile in Houston we sat around thinking about what we were going to do after all the mayhem. My parents decided to send me to San Jose, Ca to stay with some relatives for schooling. My parents did not want me to go to school in Houston because it was really crowded in the schools because everyone was moving there, and also the public school\'s environment there was not as good as the public school in California. Between all the moving and problems of what to do next, all I could think about was going home and graduating with my friends. \r\n\r\nAfter staying in California for about a month, my old school back in Louisiana, Archbishop Shaw High School, reopened, so I told my parents I wanted to go back. I did not like the school in California. I was treated differently because they all knew I was a hurricane victim, so they always gave me a melancholy look. Therefore after a few days, my parents bought me a plane ticket back home. Finally , I was back to where I started, in New Orleans with my friends. \r\n
