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?
