Research Paper topic

I had no idea what i wanted to write my research paper about. The things we do in class really help. You told me to just think about something that im interested in. I am interested in natural disasters and how they change the world. I didnt know how i was going to turn that into a usable topic but i just needed to pick a disaster and i could write about that. Sam suggested hurrican katrina in class and i really like that i idea and that is most likely what im going to write my paper about. I was really excited to have a topic picked out after class last thursday.
