Mercedes Benz Superdome Sheds A New Light On New Orleans

           Last night I had the privilege of being a part of what I would like to consider history.  The unveiling of the new Mercedes Benz Superdome was more than just a light show; rather it was the beginning of a new era. Walking up to Champions Square and being surrounded by hundreds of Saints fans and New Orleans residents I couldn’t help but feel the same feeling of  pride for this once devastated city. Since Katrina, the Superdome has served as a symbol of hope and survival for the New Orleans community. And this ceremony was a great way of showing how far this city as overcome and is still progressing. Being 22 years old I feel like I have so much to learn and am currently learning everyday. And with this, I believe last night was one of those life lessons about success and the importance of perseverance. Yay for growing up!
