Seven years ago today, the World Trade Center in New York City was attacked; a terrible image that is burned into our memories forever. The people, a city, a country, and the world were hurt, robbed of life, and changed by the events of this day.
There is a sadness that still dwells inside me because such an event ever happened, and questions that haunt my mind about the repercussions of this catastrophy.
However, I find it rather odd because the memories I still have about September 11th, are not about the people directly affected, but of the TV pictures, the discussions with friends about this news, and the feeling of fear.
Where was I seven years ago when I first heard the news?
I was already in School at about 7:30am, Colorado time, when a friend, Chris, came into the hallway and said, "An airplane just crashed into a skyscraper in New York." The shock of this news became even greater during our third period Physics class, when Mrs. Ramsey, our principal, announced the news of the second plane over the loud-speaker.
What do you remember most about September 11, 2001?
