Just wanted to say how proud I was of my school with the hurrican. they're doing fun raisers for the hurrican and they had people around school today and at the first home football game today. They looked to have picked up a lot of money. Seeing all the stuff about Katrina and seeing the devistating conditions they have in new orleans really opened my eyes. I mean yeah I saw the sunamie and all, but this hit home and I really got to see what happened. All the houses lost. People not knowning if they had a home and many being transported to Texas for a warm place to sleep. I can't believe that a catagory 1 hurrican became a catagory 4-5.I have been following the news on the spanish channel and Fox (my favorite news channel in english). I really got a better view on all of this when we talked about it in geography class. I still am in shock of all that has happened and I just wanted to do something, feel like I did something to give back so I'm joing Pals Hope at school, a club that supports fund raising stuff like this that is in need. I still can't believe how we still don't have any help from other countries yet. It hurts me to see that we're in this tragity and all the help we have done for other countries and we're having problems with shortage of transportation for people who are sick or maybe still in there attics trying to stay alive. my Deepest sympithies go out to those who have losted everything and hope that their lives we be back to normal soon. God Bless you all. Melissa ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
