"The soul of the city is in the Lower 9th Ward, in the classrooms of Carver High. The school is still rebuilding, and the seniors are the first class to go to high school entirely after Katrina. Students all write the same header for their school papers. It's the same in every class, every day, every year: name, period, date, teacher. This year, they've added a new category on their own. Next to the date, the students write the Saints' record. So, today, it would be: Dec. 17, 2009. 13-0."

About Me
- Lauren
- I'm an adventurous and fun-loving girl from the mountains of eastern Kentucky who has just been transplanted to a new home in New Orleans. I finished grad school and moved to the Big Easy this summer. I'm a teeny, tiny little bit nervous about getting blown away in a hurricane, and more than a little sad to leave all my family and friends back in Kentucky, but at the same time I'm excited beyond belief to begin what has to be the biggest adventure of my life to date.
