Hello. My name is Eric Schwanke. I've been in university for a while now - life, what can you do but live it? Anyhow, my trip to New Orleans showed me atrocities inconceivable to imagine. Yet it also showed me something that's, in a way, paralleled my life. It showed me how not only can you live, get knocked down, and try to get back up again. But you can do so with a smile. Overall, a very uplifting and moving experience. I'm glad I had the opportunity to study the issues prior to going there.
