My implementation has going very well this is my second semester in the class and my home is finished. I think last semester I bite off more than I could chew. Maybe, I did this semester also my family is happy with our progress on our home. It may not be to the high end standards of our home’s original luster but it will suffice for someone who did not know luxury in which we were once surrounded.
I hope to buy another home very soon I have not been able to locate a home in which I would really enjoy to live but I feel soon enough I will. Hopefully after the next storm season is over the government will feel it is finally time to begin handing out money for the people without insurance because by that time people will no longer wish to move back to the city because they are probably relocate or started a life in some other place or they do not have the funs to rebuild and have some form of life. I do not wish for anyone to be somewhere they do not feel comfortable because I would not wish that on any of my family members but I just want to get my life back together like everyone else. Before the hurricane I had my own house in the seventh ward by Dillard University. It was located of St. Anthony and Sere St., to bad that is all down the drain. In fact I have not even ventured into gutting or doing anything to that house. I guess the city or someone will find it more useful than I do at this time.
My project is interesting, because I find myself helping more and more people daily. Sometimes I feel like Katrina is an ongoing process many of the people in the city just need someone to tell them about the ongoing legal battles which all of the people in New Orleans are facing. Many days I find myself talking to complete strangers and sometimes when I speak to my friends I find them complete strangers when I here the foolish comments they truly believe about the help the city has still not receive.
The new problem in the road to rebuild is an old problem to our city, the corruption of New Orleans politicians. It is a well know fact that no one need five percent of even billion dollars to administer and plan for the disbursement of recovery funds. Sometimes I wish the politician; well really people in general would learn that money is not the only defining factor in life. It is true that money can get you many places that many other thing would not but money can bring you more problems than a little bit. I guess money is the root of evil. It is funny that “in God we trust” is the first thing I think about when I think of money. If anyone in my class has seen first hand as I have what people do for money they probably would not change their opinion of what money brings. That reminds me of the Kanye West song diamonds are forever. Not one person stop loving diamonds even when a major star like himself had something to say about diamonds. It is hard to believe but I guess if it does not effect someone first hand they will never care.
