I know its still early, I know that the 4th anniversary for the September 11 tragedy is in 4 days but I won't be around to write in this blog for the memorial, so I'll write it early. September 11 was the tragedy that shook the world, does anyone remember where they were on September 11? I do. I was in my homeroom at school, millions of miles away from Ground Zero, I remember my teacher coming into the room and saying "The World Trade Center has just been hit" and I remember crying for all those brave people, firefighters, police officers, Emergency unit workers and everyone else. I remember watching the towers drop and thinking 'How could something so big fall so quickly?' and I remember the tears that burned my eyes and the lump in my throat. For two days thats all we saw, replays of those two towers falling, of the planes hitting them, of the people falling, of the debris. And how our hearts went out to those lost or missing and their families. I hope you all take a few minutes of silence for those heroes lost...I hope you never forget what happened to them and I hope it never happens again.

 

I'm out,
