Hi, my name is Hannah Anderson. I am fourteen years old and I live in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, with my parents, my brother and my little sister. Before the storm I went to Our Lady Academy, which is the only all girls school on the Gulf Coast. After the storm we combined with St. Stanislaus (the all boys school next door). Both schools are on the beach but Stanislaus had two stories so their upstairs is fine. That is where we have all of our classes. It is very interesting to have classes with boys. Our principals told us that this is something we will tell people about forever so I guess I am getting a head start on most people.

Hi Hannah
Yes you will always look back and remember and that is important because you know what? It will probably happen again, someday.
God Bless
