I\'m a student at Dillard University. This was my first semester that I\'d be on my own. I had just moved into the house I was renting from a family friend and was finally getting settled in after about two weeks. I had no cable, so, of course, my television wasn\'t clear unless I was watching a tape or DVD Thus, that\'s just what I watched. What good is no cable!? \r\nI remember lying on my bed and my friend calling me, asking me what I was going to do. \"About what!?\" I asked. She told me about the hurricane coming in about a day, and that the school might be evacuating people, and whether or not she\'d ride with them, etc. Confused, because I was out of the \"Dillard Loop\", and basically on my own, I decided that I\'d stay. I thought, \"Whatever. There are always evacuations from New Orleans which only amount in rain storms, and sometimes nothing at all! I\'ll just wait out my first tropical storm\" (I\'m from Atlanta, so needless to say, the closest that I\'ve come to a tropical rainstorm is a Ga. summer thunderstorm).\r\nI then got a call from another friend. \"Hey, friend, where are you going?\" Beginning to become a bit scared because by this time I had turned on my television to the (blurry) news where there was nothing but hurricaine talk. \"Umm, I\'m staying, I guess. I don\\\'t have anyone to leave with, and I don\'t have a car\", I said. \"No, friend. You need to leave; leave with me and Mo.\" And because she is one of the smartest people I know, I decided to leave with her, Mo, and Mo\'s boyfriend. I packed about three outfits, and my most comfortable (unfashionable) shoes possible, convinced that I\'d have to come back Monday to take a psysiological psychology exam. When we got to Mo\'s house, we watched as everything unfolded, and all that I could think about was \"I almost stayed!\". I sat awestruck as I looked at the television and saw a street sign \'Humanity\' with water almost up to the sign. I gasped and noticed that that was the very street I lived on. I\'m positive that GOD had a hand in my life that day.
