I'm sitting in my office at CNN. It's relatively small but I don't care much about that. All I really care about is reporting the news. I wasn't always like that though. I was born the youngest child, right behind my brother Carter Cooper. My mom Gloria Vanderbilt, (yes, I am a Vanderbilt) had always said that I wanted to dress as a child. I wore costumes every day for reasons I still don't know. I was a weird child, and I grew up to be a weird adult. I first started getting interested in news when I went to Africa. I decided I wanted to share people's stories to the rest of the world because they were not able to. That's one of my favorite parts of my job. In 2005 a tragedy hit New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina. This was my second time covering a major storm. I had no idea how greatly it would affect me, and maybe the rest of the United States. I also has no idea that an even worse storm was coming to my hometown New York City.
