summary (2)
Hurricane Katrina had the most devastating impact on Louisiana where destroyed the Louisiana’s wetlands. Its not possible for the marshes to grow back and the vegetation along the water sources disappeared and whatever remains have turned brown. Katrina affected a local sea harvest by two-third so, US imported oysters and many fisherman were unemployed. Floodwater in the city was contaminated with household chemicals affected underground gas and oil tanks. Further contamination of floodwater by leaking sewer and gas pipes and human corpse and dead pets increased the risk of bacterial contamination. Dredged materials were placed for a platform for the plants to grow on and the Louisiana Coastal Area Ecosystem Restoration Plan plans to rebuild barrier islands and replant lost marsh grass.
I have a hobby like anyone else, not too common nor too rare. But i have more than one. They are, playing computer games and playing basketball. I like playing computer games at the age 6. It was then when my friend first introduce me to a game known as '' Dark Colony ''. Soon, I was addicted to it and started playing the game everyday without fail. Twicw or thrice in a day if worst. Afetr that it was then i found out that my ignorance had me neglecting my studies. I had been deproving ever since I had started on that game. So, I started to study hard and came to Chong Boon Secondary School. I started playing basketball since Secondary one. It was then my friends had influenced me to play some sports. Since then, basketball was my speciality and we had much fun. We even compete with another class, forming 'teams' to play with each other. Victories and losses were common as our 'team' had our strengths and weaknesses.
Hurricane Katrina summary
Hurricane Katrina had the most devastating impact on Louisiana where it ranked among the costliest natural disasters in lost human lives and destroyed property in U.S. history. Louisiana's barrier islands have sustained especially heavy losses from the hurricane’s devastating power. If the islands like crescent-shaped Chandeleur, the damage caused will be much more deadly. Louisiana’s wetlands was also damaged by hurricane Katrina, a huge swath of marshes that makes up 40 percent of the wetlands in the Louisiana supports both freshwater and saltwater marshes which have been completely blown out by it. The vegetation along water sources have almost disappeared and the remains had almost turned into an unhealthy brown shade. And because of the disaster, fisherman cannot find any job that is suitable. The leaking sewer and gas pipes added additional toxic brews. After Katrina, much discussion has gone on in trying to salvage the situation. There are also plans to restore barrier islands and replant lost marsh grass.

When I grow up, I am determined to be a chef as since young, it was my passion and dream to be a world class top chef. I wanted to be a chef is because I wanted to please the customers with my food and not through my actions. I believe that my customers will understand my feelings and action by just enjoying my food. Be it nice or not nice, they will understand as I will put in my best effort into every food I cooked, be it simple or complicated. A chef's duty is one of the most important prospect in the restaurant. They are in charge of the kitchen and are well discipline. Achef must also know how to control situations like if a fire had broken out, the chef must response quickly ans fast and also to ensure the safety of his colleagues. The chef is also holding the toughest job. It also takes leadership skills to be a chef as one needs to control the others who are also working in the kitchen and I believe i have the qualities needed to be a chef. The pay of a chef is also quite stable as it can provide me with i normal and stable live, not living in good luxurious live, nor a poor chap.
Personal Recount
A few years back then, when I was still in my primary school, I am always caught day-dreaming in class. One day, I was day-dreaming when the whole class including me are needed to do a mock test that will be counted into the exams. The first thing that came to my mind was that the teacher was bluffing and did this on purpose so that we will concentrate and do well in our test, so I ignored the paper But I was wrong. I started on the work a few minutes later and something ran into my mind. Something tells me that even if I do not have enough time to do finis the work, I still will not need to care the last few blanks.
Not long after, our CA2 test results are out. Wheni saw my marks, my mouth was wide stretched. I could not believe my eyes. I actully failed my Mathematics. I confronted the teacher and asked her, as if I am interrogating her, why did she fail me. Her reply although was short but was straight-forward and clear. I did not put in enough effort and and was. these bad hbits had causes my marks to deteriorate.
It was then I found myself wide awake and started giving my best in every test that I sat. Till now, I am still regrettful of my past actions and wished that no one else follows my dark steps.
