Caroline - Home


If you were to ask a New Orleans resident what home means to them
Their answer would most likely be along the lines of
The memories to be cherished and the traditions that never disappear
New Orleans is a place of unique culture that you will never forget
The community that we are surrounded by makes us grateful
And when asked if there is another place that they would live
Their answer would be no
Because the unforgettable atmosphere is nothing you will experience
If you lived anywhere else

Caroline, age 16
