New Orleans
I was watching a documentary of schooling after Hurricane Katrina and what effects it had on students there. I was shocked to see the difference in the way things are out there compared to here. It saddened me to watch and see the poverty, the lack of dedication to work hard and gain a good education, and most of all the amount of violence. I couldn't imagine everyday having to go through a metal detector before entering school and having the fear daily of being shot. Within one semester, two students were shot by other students attending the school. It makes me really appreciate being brought up in California and being able to feel safe at school and most of the community in general.

It's difficult to really think about all the pain one goes through in this cruel world. I didn't understand it when I was little but when I think about all the pain I had seen from family members, I come to understand the REAL pain.
