Samantha Perez Quotations

I was able to fly in a plane for the first time and see a snow flurry.

I?m here representing all the people from the state.

That was the biggest blessing from the hurricane.

When you evacuate, it?s not a neat and clean thing. You?re just scrambling to get everything ready.

This is where I scribbled on the walls when I was little. This is where I took my first steps. All that?s gone. I grew up, partly by choice, partly because of the Katrina storm.

There was a lot of uncertainty. Then all you could do was sit and watch the news. You felt powerless.

I learned a lot from the hurricane. I learned determination, dedication and sacrifice. I?m not glad it happened, but I?m glad for what it did for me.
