I can honestly say spending a whole week in New Orleans has
given me a complete different outlook on life. The nursing students and I had
the opportunity to spend time with a lot of people who were affected by
Hurricane Katrina at the Rebuild Center. Although, these people went through
tragedy, majority of them were still so thankful for what they have today.
These individuals were thankful that we took time out of our day to come spend
time with them and when we were nervous to talk to them, their southern
hospitality shone and invited us in. The sisters at the rebuild center are the
epitome of strength. They had the courage to open up this center for the
homeless and less fortunate when others could only dream about it. Every day
they give their all to the center to help others; that alone is a true
blessing. I am thankful that I attend a
college that offers a program such as so for students like myself.
