New Orleans, The City That Lives On

The view from the parking garage on campus is breathtaking. No matter how bad of day I had I could always enjoy the view for a few minutes before climbing in my car and everything that happened during the day would become trivial. On a good day, the sun shines through the foliage and lights up the grass and the skyscrapers in a way that transcends tranquility and promises unlimited possibilities for the future. I had seen local school children practice their band songs in the park. Their practice drew crowds and mesmerized them. On a bad day the fog descends on the city and muffles the sound of people bustling in the distance. The charm of New Orleans is the combination of people, culture, and history that translates into the endless festivals and celebrations. I would say that New Orleans is a city that never sleeps because there is always something going on in this city but that title is already taken by New York City, and therefore, I say New Orleans is the City that Lives On. And I am sure no matter where I end up for medical school, New Orleans will always live on in my heart.
