I grew up on a bayou with a grandpa that hunted alligators and a mother that was a musician. From a young age I have been influenced by the rich culture of Louisiana. New Orleans was the first large city I visited, and Tulane was the first college campus I ever remembering seeing. I have since visited many other cities and schools, and feel that nowhere else is comparable. It is my desire to become a part of an academic community where I know I will be an engaged alumni for life. Tulane Law…

love and had a baby. The people sense that the baby is different time goes by, they realize the baby skin color is of African descent. Armand thinks Desiree is part black, but she doesn’t accept the statement. Desiree takes the baby and leaves to the bayou and is never seen again. Armand is throwing away her belongings and comes across a letter that is from his mother to his father stating that she is grateful that her son will never know that his mother “belongs to the race that is cursed by…

Festival on October 29th, 2016 at the Bayou City Event Center. I must say that I was totally surprised to see so many people; the place was packed. There was a good environment, music, dance performances, and beauty pageants. Although, I did not feel familiarized at first, I could see that there were people from different cultures and not just Filipinos’ that helped me not to feel constrained. The queue to buy the tickets was quite long. When I arrived to the Bayou Center, I decided to walk a…

In “Desiree’s Baby” by Kate Chopin, the character Desiree--who is carrying her child--purposely walks into the swamp and never returns. Therefore, readers infer that they both die. Although she believed she was saving the baby’s life, Desiree’s decision to walk into the swamp carrying her child is wrong because she had other options for herself and she ended an innocent child’s life. One reason she is wrong for walking into the swamp and ending their life is because she had other options for…

This arrest of Raul Gutierrez is a successful example of intelligence sharing among different countries. In this case Colombia, Spain, and the United States worked together to combat a terrorist threat. Terrorism and cybercrimes are worldwide threats that affect many nations and businesses. Intelligence sharing between government and even businesses can have huge benefits in combating against sector threats and allowing for demolishment of these threats. If communities share openly in their…

just like Virginia. I like the way the poems bring me back to a time when I would wake up during the night and try to sneak to to see if I could see Santa. I even have a memory of one year truly believing I saw Santa in the sky. Being from the bayou, I can relate to the Cajun poem believing Santa could arrive…

Many years ago, slaves pave the way for us to serve God in the what is named worship. Not only did the sacrifice their lives yet trusting in God to bring them through a rough time in life. Those years being press down and suppress to doing what others wanted you to do. I cannot imagine giving up my freedom to work for someone else and yet keeping my faith alive. I can wake up in the morning in a comfortable bed because of how the slaves handle themselves. Even doing things they did not bring…

You may have heard of the old saying “the older you get, the faster time will fly by” it is so true and this story even proves it. Like how Maman-Nainaine said when the figs are ripe Babette might go to visit her cousins down on the Bayou-Lafourche. Babette’s reaction was that it was a very long time to wait, but on the other hand, Maman-Nainaine thinks it is very soon. When the figs have ripened Maman-Nainaine said, “How early the figs have ripened this year” (Chopin 10). Because time…
