THE ANNIVERSARY OF HURRICANE KATRINA

JASMINE NELSON (9-11-09):

Today is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina which has had a profound effect on my family. Watching it on TV and hearing people talk about it sometimes makes me weak and I think hard about what my family and I went through. I just look at it as a setback that I overcame and it makes me appreciate everything I have in life.

It makes me love and cherish my mother and everyone around me because without them, I wouldn't be in the position I am in now. Sometimes I look at things being difficult and I want to give up because I feel I have nothing left but I've learned there's always a way to get over that 50 foot wall if you P.U.S.H. -- Pray Until Something Happens.

CHAMPS BACK TO SCHOOL BASH

Each year on the Sunday before the first day of school our Shaquille O'Neal CHAMPS department puts on a "Back-to-School Bash" for the entire athletic department. There's food and games and it's always a lot of fun!

I never think about it much because it's just so natural, but all the sports, coaches and athletes get along so well at LSU. We always pull for each other. I think things like the Bash help to start things off on the right track.
One thing we didn't quite expect was Coach Chancellor joining us on the volleyball court!
