#1 Natural Disasters

I read an artile called Hurricane Katrina. I never realized how bad the natural disaster was untill now. It was a horrible catagory 4 hurricane. category 4 means is is one of the most devastating hurricanes. it caused $100 billion worth of destruction and affected many peoples lives. 10,100 people were origionally feared dead and that came to be true. There was much critisizm against president bush on how he dealt with the situation. he was said to have had poor crisis management, slow response to get help, and not setting foot in New Orleans after the disaster. Many people have said that this country did a bad job of trying to fix it even though we are the richest country in the world. To lend aid from hurricane katrina, 60 nations have offered to help us out and 13 states have a state emergency in force to prevent being so unprepaired.

In Class Activity

I liked the activity we did in class today. its showed how we describe ourself and what qualities we like and want to hold on to. i dont think we americans realize how good our life is. we can do pretty much whatever we want. in other countries girls wouldnt be able to do certain things that girls can do in the U.S. i was left with two things at the end that i really didnt want to give up. the first was being a dancer. i love dance and i dont know who i would be with out it. it makes me happy and is my favorite thing do to. my second thing i had was being a daughter. i dont think i could just give up my parents. i know how hard it is to not see family for a while because all of my relatives live in different states except my mom. so the last thing i kept was being a daughter. i dont know who i would be with out my family.
