My heart is heavy. Every time I think of what happened, I get the goosebumps. Today, marking 10 years, tears come to my eyes. I remember, the shock, the terror, the state of confusion.
September 11, 2001. I remember where I was. Southwestern College parking lot, listening to the radio. It was 7:15am PST, right before plane two hit. I was ignorant to truly understand what was going on. It was almost as if I was listening to old time radio where they were telling stories via the radio. It was completely surreal. Everyone at school was walking around like a zombie, lost and confused, just like
me. Classes were canceled, work was fixed on the news. There was nothing we can do but listen.
The lives were lost, the heroes that tried, the unity we became. I am thankful. For all who put their lives on the line day to day, thank you. With all my heart, with all my family’s heart, we have gratitude.
