We'll Always Remember

Just about everyone can remember where they were on Sept. 11th 2001 and what was going through their minds when they saw the horrific event that has affected us all. I was in my first year of college and had just woken up to go to class when I turned on the TV to see what the weather was going to be for that day. Little did I know that the weather wasn't going to matter at all. When I saw what was going on I wasn't sure what I was watching. I thought maybe I had turned on the wrong channel and was watching a movie. But then I realized it was the news...and it was live. I was in shock and right away I called my parents. My younger sister was in school at the time and I was afraid that something might happen to Philly next because the news said there was a plane in that area. I couldn't get in touch with anyone and I wasn't sure what to do because I was a freshman who just started at Millersville University, so I went to class.

As I walked down the street to class I saw students stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to pray, cry, and hug each other. In the back of my mind I still worried about home, my sisters, parents, and family, but continued to walk to class. A few of my classes were canceled and in other classes we talked about what was going on or watched the news. I later got in contact with my parents and everyone was safe and sound but in shock like the rest of us. I didn't understand why someone would do this and I cried as I saw the people jumping from the buildings. The country will never forget...the world will never forget this day. Every time I see 9:11 on the clock I remember, every time I see New York City I remember, every time I hear about those who fought on Flight 93 I remember, every time I think about my freshman year I remember, every time I hear something new about that day I remember. We'll Always Remember.

Where were you on 9.11.01?
