I counseled the homeless, and people that faced an imminent risk of entering public shelters. I provided them with a variety of tools to assist their families, including filling legal documentation and public assistance paperwork.

As many countries developed over time, changes have occurred that benefited the citizens of each nation. However, there is one important element that is needed to establish laws, peace, and harmony in each country. This element is known as leadership. Leaders around the world have contributed to the success and evolution of all of our nations, proving to be a huge responsibility.

These traits include causing admiration and inspiration, demonstrating intelligent knowledge, and guiding residents and themselves to solve conflicts that may cause death.

However, test scores do not constitute as the only important factor in education and some charter schools throughout New Orleans have mixed feelings about Teach for America. Sophie Wright, principal at a charter school in uptown, said, "These people bring a lot of energy and creativity, but I need people who are going to stay and invest in this community." Mickey Landry, the principal at Lafayette Academy Charter School, has stopped hiring Teach for America instructors because of high turnover rates and the instructors not being able to handle the job emotionally.
