Day 7
Today was a real challenge for me. Today was the first day for me to be a sociologist and I must say that I think that I did a great job. We gave a help in hand to the community today. We interviewed people to hear their stories about what happened during the hurricane and after the hurricane. I think we gave an opportunity to the people that had no voice a chance to speak up. I think they really appreciated us for giving them that opportunity. Even though most of the stories were compelling we as being sociologist had show and almost feel as if we really knew what disaster was and that was the hardest part for me today. We went at library from 8 that morning to almost 8 that night. I think the people of Bay St. Louis will never forget us and they will always thank us for that.
Just being here in Bay St. Louis I learned that this is the place where hurricane Katrina really hit and New Orleans. I did not know this but I felt as if the people felt like they were being over shadowed by New Orleans because New Orleans is a big city. In almost every interview the speaker was bound to say that New Orleans dodged a bullet. I will take my experiences that I learned today and hopefully use it farther more as I continue to go deep into my major and my career.
