I found myself trembling in fear as tears run down my face. My family was right beside me, praying and waiting for a relief, as a monstrous storm named Hurricane Katrina began to take its place. As all of this was happening, we thought the world was coming to an end. Luckily, there was a moral that I learned from this catastrophe, which changed my whole life and future. Saturday morning, we were jumping with joy, not knowing we were jumping for doom as our parents were finally leaving us. They were about to travel very far to Maryland. It was not very often that our parents would travel. This meant that we should make good use of our time. No one was there to restrict us from doing anything we desired. We could watch movies and talk on the phone as much as we wanted. We did not have to hear these four despised words for once, “Go read your books.” Everything went really smoothly. The only thing which made the day horrible were my five younger little brats. They were causing so much chaos. The whole house was a mess. Fortunately, I had my siblings cooperate with me to get the house clean. On Sunday afternoon, I was really looking forward to going outside. As I stepped outside the house, I noticed the grey clouds covering the bright, shining sun. Unfortunately, I made my way back into the house. I decided to watch a few movies on demand for the remainder of the time. Uhiara 2 As I was watching my movie, the phone just so happened to ring. It was my Auntie Kenny, sounding really concerned. She asked, “Where are your mom and dad?” I told her that they were in Maryland, and that they wouldn’t be back until Monday. So, she ended the conversation by saying, “Thank you.” Thirty minutes later, my mother called the house. She wanted to know everything that we had done, since she had left. Surprisingly, I happened to tell her the truth. All of sudden she began to yell at me through the phone. She yelled, “Do you not know that a hurricane is heading toward our city!” I became speechless and scrolled down to channel three. I did not really worry much about the hurricane. Almost all the hurricanes, which came to New Orleans, were not really much of a big deal. Unfortunately, I began to have doubts about this one. This hurricane, which was ready to make the landfall the next day, began to concern me. When I began to wonder about the other hurricanes, which had hit Florida a few weeks ago, I thought about the large amount of damage that occurred right after the storm. Therefore, I was hoping that the type of damage, which had happened in Florida, would not happen in Louisiana. My main concern happened to be whether or not if my parents would come home in time to save us from this incoming storm. As I was watching the news, they mentioned that the flights going to and from New Orleans, were soon to be cancelled. All of sudden, fear overcame my body. I was praying that my parents would catch the last flight back home. I regretted rejoicing to the fact that my parents had left. I really wanted them to come back home. My little brother was three years old at the time. He asked, “Are mommy and daddy Uhiara 3 coming back home?” I responded by shrugging my shoulders. As a result, he looked at me weirdly and left the room. I turned my head back to the television and saw the Red Lobster commercial. My stomach was growling, and I haven’t eaten anything since morning. I decided to go into the kitchen to make a sandwich. A few minutes later, we saw the gate to the door open. My siblings yelled, “It’s mommy and daddy!” Our hearts were filled with happiness. We did not expect for them to be back so soon. I and my five younger siblings went to hug our parents, and we took their bags. We wondered what caused our parents to look so angry yet seem so happy. The following morning, there was an announcement stating, “All Orleans Parish Schools Will Be Closed.” I was extremely happy that school would be closed. I had more time to sleep and finish my homework. As the day proceeded, we continued to watch the news. My mother was monitoring the news to check if any mandatory evacuations would be in effect. The only way we would evacuate, was if the government announced a mandatory evacuation. Since I was born up to August 2005, we have never evacuated. My sister and I, had our fingers crossed, hoping the evacuation would be mandatory. A few minutes later, we saw the headline stating, “Mandatory Evacuation.” I was strangely excited to read that headline. Finally, for the first time ever, we were going to evacuate. We a

It is a good story. I believe you would get an A+ because you did a great job and is this story for like a school project? The best thing to do was obviously what you did you prayed. You obviously must have been very thankful. I think there should be more work that is done faster in New Orleans. I'm glad to see that you somewhat stayed calm during this besides your stomach growling. Gj!
