Our future working lives (as submitted to Planetary Magazine)

Submitted by Luciana Pimentel on Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at 10:44:13 AM EST.

We are Fernanda and Patricia, we live in Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. We have been studying at Andrews since we were 4 years old, now we are sixteen years old. We also study English in a course.
We like to do basically the same things like going to the shopping, to the beach, to parties and shows, listening to music and having fun.
Fernanda intends to be a lawyer because she thinks she has good chance to make money in this career in the current scenario. She thinks that she will like it a lot because it´s a really beautiful career.
In addition, Patricia will do communication( publicity). It´s a job that she likes because it requires creativity, dedication and effective communication. The current scenario is very competitive, because nowadays communication is everything in the world( is needed to buy, to sell, to do anything) , but it is worthwhile. She has chosen this career because both of her parents do publicity, so she has lived with it for all her life. And more than anything , she can use her father´s experience to grow professionally.

How would you rate the emergency response efforts for Hurricane Katrina?

Options include:

A five; we're all doing all we can do

A four; People have really come together. Even if the rescue efforts were hampered a little, everyone is chipping in to help

A One; What else could they have done, given the conditions of the city?

A three; They tried hard, but factors outside of their control (looters, fires, chaos) slowed them down

A two; It was about what I expected would happen

A zero; why did President Bush wait so long to send troops? Why was there so much miscommunication among government officials?

Emergency Response? What emergency response? Government officials up through Bush should all be fired!

I'm just glad I wasn't there

If people had heeded the evacuation orders, everything would have been fine
