It seems like it was just yesterday that I was sitting in my homeroom class on the second day of 10th grade and the principal came on the PA and told us that two planes had crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in NYC. From there on out none of us knew what was really happening, the school held the truth about the true severity from us. I went home to see CNN playing loops of, wait no, it can’t be, THEY COLLAPSED?! I was in a complete state of shock for at least the next week, thinking it was all a bad dream and that they were still standing tall in the City.

I would like everyone to remember that day and to remember all of the people who died and all of the fire fighters and police officers who gave their lives to try and save the others.
