 This was my home in New 

Orleans,Louisiana. Everything was swell 

but then the terrible weather ruined the 

planning of my fifth birth day. Which 

would also take away my life away from 

my birthplace. 

   On August 28,2005, my family and I 

were packing, and getting ready for 

Ms.hurricane Katrina, and with me 

only being 4 (soon to be 5) years old I 

didn't understand what we were doing 

or what was going on (I, personally, 

just liked the bubble wrap). The next 

thing I knew I was in the car with our 

things and just... enjoying the ride. 

       My family and I were on our way to a 

safe haven when Ms. hurricane Katrina caught 

up to us. So we just pulled up into a closed 

bank and waited till it would calm down... but 

it didn't. So my mother just thought it was best 

to go to the shelter to be safe but after a few 

days my WHOLE family and I went back to 

our flooded house. When we cleaned up the 

mess (well tried) we slept in my mom's room 

and tried to make the best of it. However, a 

couple of days later my mother finally decided 

it was time to move. the question was where to?  

     When my mother decided to move all the 

grownups were on board. My uncle and 

aunt had already gone to Texas and were 

living in Pasadena. So we thought it would 

be a wonderful idea to go to Texas for one 

because some of our family is there, and 

two it was close by (6 hours). The next day 

my mother and father were looking for 

houses in Texas and found the blessing 

they were looking for. So we took all of our 

things (again) and took on the adventure to 

find our new home in Pasadena, Texas.

    This is the house that my family and 

I live in to this day. This house was and 

is still our blessing. Even though, i 

sometimes wonder what if Ms. 

hurricane Katrina didn't hit I would be 

in Louisiana right now probably going 

to the high school my   sister went to, I 

would have a different best friend, and 

i wouldn't have Mrs. Lambert as my AP 

Human Geography teacher. 

 1. Pull factor- My father was able to find a job 

that pays more money than it did in Louisiana. 

 2. Pull factor- All though we loved our house 

back in Louisiana, we loved the better housing 

opportunity that we had in Pasadena, Texas.

 3. Push factor- The main push factor was due 

to Ms. hurricane Katrina, damaging our home, 

and giving tragic results to the land of 

Louisiana.
