I was going to write a blog talking about the September 11th attacks, but I really decided not to. Instead I'm just going to write about my feelings and recollections from that day.
We all know what happened on this day 8 years ago, and most of us all probably remember where we were and what we were doing. I was in the 9th grade at Ashbrook Highschool and I had just walked into my homeroom class where the tv was on the news covering the event. It was early in the morning shortly after the first plane crash. I've never seen or hears a group of students so still and quiet. I remember watching as the second plane crashed. I remember thinking, how can something like this be happening here?...right now? The buildings fell.... then the crash at the Pentagon... I remember being scared, not knowing what was going to happen next. That whole school day was horrible. Every classroom was at a halt only watching the news. My worst memory of the event was watching people jumping out of the building, only to fall to their deaths.
It's a scary world out there. You never know what could happen, and you should try to treat everyday like there won't be a tomorrow. So many people get caught up with little things in their day to day lives, and sometimes it takes events like this to really remember to appreciate life.
My heart goes out to all the family members who lost loved ones on this day.
