A true freshman on the Texas A&M football team has an inspiring, powerful story. Don't miss this piece.
Warren Easton High School - or "W.E." as it is known by locals - sits in the heart of New Orleans. Warren Easton is the oldest public high school in Louisiana and counts Master P and Trombone Shorty as alumni. And Lee Harvey Oswald, but that's neither here nor there.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina pounded the high school so badly that it nearly shuttered its doors for good. The damage from the hurricane was so pronounced that the school closed for one year while many of the residents of the surrounding community fled to Texas, Mississippi, and elsewhere to survive.
