9/11

In 2001 I was a freshman in high school.  At this point in my life I was pretty content with things.  I was sitting in a classroom with my old friend Chris.  It was a study hall so it was pretty boring, but we liked to listen to Dee Snider on  radio 104.1.  I don't remember exactly when we the news broke, but I do remember that the teacher in the room was a Spanish teacher.  We had TV's in every room in high school, so when word got around everyone was watching things unfold.  The teacher turned off the TV and didn't want to watch, clearly upset with the magnitude of the situation.  Classes continued on schedule, however my next class we spent the entire 1 1/2 hours watching things unfold.  I felt a rush of emotions that day, a bit uncertain about how to react, and knowing that the world was about to change.  As I walked the halls of my school, everyone was talking about what had happened.  It wasn't until later that day that things really sunk in.  This is a day that I will remember for the rest of my life.  Thank you NYPD and NYFD for all the work you did that day, you are true heroes.  And to all who have been effected by 9/11, my heart goes out to you.  God Bless America.
