It's strange, but I don't really remember about the hurricane itself. It all happened so 1. I was sitting in my room when the roof (屋顶) just 2. All of a sudden, there was sky where the roof had been and I was very 3. Without a roof, staying inside was really 4. It was August, so it was really hot and it smelled so 5 everywhere! Living in the 6 air, we became breakfast, lunch and dinner for the mosquitos (蚊子). We had lost our home and everything in it. But as Mom kept on 7 us, we were all together and safe. Mom's words made us feel 8. I remember us all lying under the midnight 9 and looking up at the stars. Even though we had lost a lot, moments like those gave us 10 for the future.
Although it was only a few days before we were 11, it felt like months. We were taken to another town in a faraway county. Now, one year has 12 and I'm back home in New Orleans. We are working together to 13 our homes and our lives. Now we have another chance to look up at the 14 of New Orleans, their beauty inspiring us and giving us 15 to move on.
