Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Students in my debate class at Comstock HS on the east side of Kalamazoo, Michigan, were studying and discussing that year's national topic, weapons of mass destruction. Suddenly word spread like wildfire that there had been a terrorist attack in New York. We tuned in to the television coverage and were left awestruck and speechless at the video images of the attacks. We had never significantly considered what came to be known as weapons of mass effect before, but now the real world had invaded our little corner and given us a horrifying slap in the face. My own thoughts turned to my uncle in New York, who only a year or so earlier would have been working in one of the twin towers. We shared grief at the lives of innocent people senselessly and callously struck down, with no warning what was coming, mixed with a strange sense of wonder at the stories of bravery -- the public safety personnel who fought to save lives in NYC, and the passengers who fought to stop the terrorists aboard the last plane to go down. The only event in the past two decades that I can think might have carried the same impact for schoolchildren is the explosion of the Challenger shuttle. I do not doubt that it will stay with them all their lives. I hope it will not be with bitterness, but instead with a strong desire to make the world a better place.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Andrew Alt Per. 5 5/23/02 9/11 September 11 It all started 9/11/01 in New York City at about 8:48a.m Eastern Time. I was in school during period 3 and everyone was taking notes from Miss Kersch. We heard that two airliners crashed right into the World Trade Center and killed a lot of people. There was a third plane that hit the Pentagon and a fourth plane that crashed into a cornfield in Pennsylvania. The plane that crashed in Pennsylvania did so because the passengers were able to take control over the plane. The passengers did this because they knew they were probably going to crash into a building and kill many people. When the planes hit the World Trade Center they acted as a bomb and put a hole right through the buildings causing a big explosion. A couple hours after the planes went into the Towers, they started to collapse. The weird thing is that the second tower that was hit fell first and the tower that was hit first fell last. We did not do anything in school that day except watch the television to be kept updated on what was happening in Washington, the Pentagon, New York City and Pennsylvania. The planes that went into the buildings in New York and Washington reminded us about Pearl Harbor. At Pearl Harbor, Japanese suicide bombers had planes crash into the United States Naval Base and we entered World War 2. The terrorists who did these attacks were trained in schools paid by Bin Ladin. Bin Ladin is the leader of the terrorist group and a Fundamentalist. They hijacked these planes because they were told that they would have a better chance to get to heaven with Allah. These terrorists could be waiting for the signal to strike us again. They have threatened us for many of years because they hate us. They hate us because they are a Muslim nation and we are a Christian nation. We will never be afraid of them because we have a lot of pride and we are very strong. Ever since the terrorist attacks, our country has been in a state of shock. We have lost so many innocent people and were not even expecting it. The day the incident happened, President George W. Bush said that we were probably going to go to war. That day there were many sad people and they were hoping that their family had made it out of the burning buildings. Almost every telivison station had pictures of all the damage. From what I could see, it looked like it was a movie or just a nightmare. There was a hole in the Pentagon where the airplane went right into the side of the Pentagon. After the World Trade Towers fell down, there was a lot of the shattered remains on the ground and there were over 3,000 people that died. Now, almost nine months later, our country is still recovering from this incident. All of the rubble has been cleaned up, but the memory of that day will be with Americans for a long time.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I had been seperated for almost two years. I returned from my job a little before 9:00 am and had no knowledge of what was happening. Then the phone rang, it was my ex-husband. SCREAMING! "Go get the baby from school right now", he yelled. I asked why and his answer was "They just blew up the WTC". In complete shock and disbelief, I answered him "stop playing". He then told me to turn on the television. Then the line went dead. I jumped in my car, nearly crashing into oncoming cars, and got my 4 year-old baby from preschool. Her school happened to share the yard with The Armed Forces Reserve Base here in Amityville. I spent the rest of the day trying to contact my ex-husband (who works in the Woolworth building). It was a terrifying experience. I knew several people over in that area and was frantic as to who might have been in the trade center at that time. Well, THANK GOD! I finally heard from my ex. He never made it to work that day and was not near the WTC!! About two - three weeks weeks later we went and signed every banner we could at the site and I will never forget the pain and hurt that I felt. I will never forget this day, the victims, and their families. I just thank GOD every day that my ex-husband was unable to get to work that day, for whatever reason. And today, he and I are back together. Love due to tradgedy. May God bless them every one!!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had just gotten out of bed for my 9:45 class at Penn State, setting my alarm at 8:45. I was in the bathroom putting in my contact lenses and started hearing voiced. I'd apparently only hit the Snooze button and not turned off the alarm. I heard the voices talking about a plane hitting a tower, and the first thought through my mind was that a local plane had hit a local cell phone tower. Then I heard the words "World Trade Center" and flew into a controlled frenzy. The nearest TV was in my living room, and I couldn't get to it quickly enough. I turned it on and could not believe my eyes. I ran up to my roommate's room and we watched for a couple minutes before walking to class. At that stage, we knew that it was a terrorist act, but didn't quite understand the breadth of the act. All the way to campus we talked about how bad it might be, and he didn't seem to think that it would be very bad, since it was early in the morning. This made sense and turned out to be partly true. Once reluctantly arriving at class, it soon became apparent that the instructor didn't realize what had happened. He'd likely been in his office and come direcly to class. As he taught, we were lucky to have laptops but couldn't surf very easily because all the news servers were getting slammed by millions of others doing the same. We didn't even know that the towers were down until after class, at which point one of my fellow students told the instructor what happened..he couldn't believe it. We walked over to the HUB and watched the two big-screen TVs amidst much crying and confusion. The visuals and inner emotions of the day are forever etched in me.

Tell us your story: Esbamos tomando el desayuno mi esposa y yo, escuchando el radio del noticiero a nivel nacionl de "Imagen Informativa" que conduce atinadamente esl Sr. Pedro Ferriz de Con. recuerdo que uno de sus primeros comentarios fue "parece se estrello una avioneta en la torre del Center" y por momentos a mi mente acudio la idea del que esta ubicado aqui, en la ciudad del Distrito Federal, pero al realizar un rapidisimo analisis, supe que era imposible que en M?xico sucediera esto, atinadamente coment? el, lo que estamos viendo en la televisi?n no es una avioneta es un atentado. De inmediato, me levanto, y acudo a prender el televisor, que imagenes tan tremendas, eran las torres gemelas a las que se referian, recuerdo que se comunico con un corresponsal a los EE.UU, y este dijo que probablemente era un incendio en los pisos superiores, a lo que contesto Pedro, todo hace indicar que es un atentado a las torres, se molesto el corrresponsal y termino la entrevista colgo. Como es posible, que nosostros a tan lejana distancia, percibimos que realmente fu? un atentado, facilmente se pudo haber salvado la segunda torre, si hubiesen tenido la prudencia de derribar al segundo avion. En mi mente se han quedado todas las imagenes, que nos trasmitieron, llegue a la oficina y no laboramos, nos quedamos colgados del televisor hasta que nos cortaron las imagenes por canales abiertos. No debe ocrurrir algo similar, si tenemos todos los medios, se deben aplicar para la conservaci?n de la humanidad, tenemos que fortalecer la union entre todos los humanos. Y como vecinos debemos ayuda mutua. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I were home on the morning of Sept.11,2001. I was trying to get our newborn son ready for his first doctor's visit. You see, our first child, Peter James was born the morning of Sept.6, 2001 and we had only come home two days beforehand. My husband just happened to turn on CNN, and as I was coming into the kitchen, I had heard him say,"Oh my God, honey, come in here! A plane just crashed into the World Trade Center!" at this point, we thought that a plane had accidentally crashed into the tower. As we watched in horror, we saw the second plane hit, and I think it was at that point that we both realised that this was no accident. I don't remember much of the commentary that the reporter was putting out, but I remember my husband, Kris, grabbing my hand to hold it tightly. I remember the tears streaming down my face, and I remember shaking in terror as my husband held me, thinking that this was a terible, horrible future we were staring in the face for ourselves, our brand new son, and the rest of the world. I remember asking my husband, "What if they hit here ?" And I remember Kris trying to tell me the unlikelyhood of that happening, but all I could think was that it seemed very unlikely to me that someone would be able to crash NYC and then the Pentagon. As we drove our PJ to the doctors office that day, I could not calm down, could not stop crying, thinking of all those innocent people who had gotten up that morning, put on their shoes and drank their coffee before heading off to their jobs, only to die a short while later, never knowing that THIS morning was going to be their last. I could not believe that so many innocent people had died on one day, throughout our nation,and that NO ONE warned them. I found it hard to believe that our government had no idea that this was going to happen. I still feel to this day, that our government should have done SOMETHING to save those people before this happened, espicially since it has come to light that OUR OWN GOV'T knew about this BEFOREHAND. In the days and nights following the attacks, I found myself clinging to our new son, and cuddling with my wonderful husband at every opportunity. During the days, I was in a daze, just going through the motions as I tried to absorb what had happened, and tried to contemplate what it would mean to our future as Americans. At night, I was filled with an unreasoning fear that someone was going to come and steal my baby in the night, and found that I was shaking in fear in my own bed as I lay there sleepless. In the end, my love for my family pulled me out of the daze I was in. I saw that life goes on, no matter what happens, until it is YOUR time to go. Now, my husband and I try to take each day at a time, and live each one as best as we can, knowing that each one could be the last and that life, as well as the time you have together, is too precious to waste. Now, instead of running around in pursuit of the almighty dollar, and in pursuit of expensive material things, we have stopped putting off things like camping trips, or sunsets, or staying up late just to talk and dream. No more is the phrase "I can do it tomorrow" or " Next year, we'll have more time" heard around our home. Tomrrow the grass can get cut. Next year we'll get a new car. Right now, today, is the time to watch P.J. discover that our Kitty is soft and hairy, or that dirt is yucky. Today is what we have and it is precious. Tomorrow is for dreaming towards. But today is for living our dreams. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The morning of September 11, 2001 was like every other morning. I pulled into parking space number 132 at my high school and walked up the hill to my first period class. I went to my locker, chose the correct book and then went into american government. I found my seat and began talking with a close friend. This is what I did every morning except unlike every other morning, the television in my classroom was on. Then, I (with the rest of the class) saw a replay of first plane as it smashed into the World Trade Center. It got very quite. At the exact moment, most of us were already at school and knew nothing of the attack. We just sat there. My friend and I stopped our conversation trying to comprehend what was going on. That day, it was as if school had stopped. When I would go into the hallway, I saw teachers frantically walking around talking to one another. Some of them were saying, "What are we going to do now? This is bad." Those teachers sure were not helping to make things better for the students. That afternoon, the Red Cross Youth Group began taking donations to send to New York. This deffinately made things better for me because it got my mind off of the attack. I want to Wal-Mart and bought things to put in the box to send to those who needed them. I gave blood the follwing week (as I am sure most Americans did). Our school, our community dealt with this together. When I graduated in May 2002, I felt closer to my peers than I ever had before. Now every time I see the American Flag, I always remember Sept.11, 2001. Honestly, I think I am still too uneducated to really understand what Sept.11 really means.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001, I was teaching K5 at a Christian school in Florida. Another teacher came over to my classroom to tell me that the World Trade Center had been hit by a plane--I really thought nothing of it... just that a tragic accident had happened. About 20 minutes later she came back over and told me that the other World Trade Center had been hit and that there were reports of the Pentagon being hit as well. I immediately turned on my radio--the first thing that I heard was the sound of sirens and Peter Jennings' voice; he was talking about the Pentagon and how they couldn't get close to it to really see what had happened. My eyes scanned across the room and I saw the faces of our future, and my heart hurt for them. How was I to explain this to them? Their lives had changed wihtout even knowing it--their world had changed without even knowing it. I only said that men who hated our country took over some airplaines and hurt many people in New York and Washington D.C. Of course, the children had many questions, but I certainly didn't have the answers. I didn't know what REALLY went on til I went home that afternoon and turned on CNN and MSNBC. I hugged the children more than usual that day and told them that God loves them; their parents love them; I love them. We talked about freedom and what we are thankful for about America. At recess time, I listed to the radio--many of the children wanted to listen with me, but I would not allow it. They still needed to be children and to play and retain some of their innocence. Yesterday, September 11, 2002, I couldn't stop thinking about their faces when they heard the fire engine sirens blaring from the radio. Oh how I pray that the Lord will show mercy upon our country and will continue to bless us. My heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones or friends in this horrific tragedy. Even though I don't fully feel what those families feel, I still feel a great sense of loss. America does as well.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: As the whole world changed on that doomed-filled day, September 11th marked a day where many lives were dramatically changed. That Tuesday hit close to home, in fact it directly impacted our family, friends, and community. Our lives will never be the same without out beloved Romero who was my only brother. His smile lit up the room and he did everything in his power to ensure the happiness of others. Being a typical older brother, e wanted the best for his sisters and always wanted my parents to live for the day. He proved to be a hero not only in our nation, but he was a hero to our community. He constantly wanted to pay favors forward by paying for someone?s tab or toll or just be gestures of generosity that are often lost in today?s world. I?ve seen Romeo grow from a 9-year old model to a basketball player to a surf and jeep lover to a man who served our nation with dignity and pride to an always-phenomenal brother. I am truly sorry that I will never be able to see him marry the love of his life, have more ?older-brother-younger sister talks?, see him have children and be able to spoil my nieces and nephews, retire from the Navy, and simply encourage me to do my best and see me grow up. The whole word cannot forget about 9/11. There are reminiscences everywhere about that day which a day does not go by when I do not think about it: As I work up one Tuesday morning, after a long night of fun and dancing, I thought that I would wake up to my daily routine-getting up fifteen minutes before class, just enough time to take a shower and grab a bite to eat before the long haul to English class. This particular morning was quite different. In fact, it changed my life. After I got out of bed, my roommate was still sleeping, so I proceeded to walk towards the end of the hall to find out what the weather was like outside. As I walked down the hall, I heard the blaring noise from many televisions and noticed that many of the doors to the dorms were opened. I thought that this was particularly strange because usually at 11 o?clock during the day, everyone is at class. I walked into a friend?s room and asked what all the ruckus was about and why everyone?s television was on. She responded. ?You haven?t heard? Two planes crashed into each of the World Trade Towers and a plane crashed into the Pentagon.? My first reaction to all this was, ?Did my brother go to work?? He started working at the Pentagon three months prior to the attack and worked on a shift schedule. I rushed to the telephone to call my mother to find out if my brother had gone to work that morning. At first I couldn?t get through to her due to circuits being busy in Washington, D.C. I tried using my cell phone, but that did not work. I then decided to use someone else?s phone and got through. My brother Romeo had talked to my mom at 8:20 that morning, about an hour and a half before the plane drove into the Pentagon. He called from work, which was off, because he usually did not call her from work, due to the ?top secret nature? of his job. He told my mother that my sister had left him lunch and wanted to say how much he appreciated it and like always, said he loved her. All of this shocked me and kept me in complete dismay all day. I sat in my dorm room and watched the news, waiting for the phone to ring and hoping that my brother had called to say he was alive. I could not let me eyes leave the television. Maybe I would see my brother helping outside of the Pentagon. I kept hop in my mind that the reason he could not call us to let us know that he was okay, was due to the downing of the all the phone lines in D.C. I paced around my room, down the hall and as dawn was approaching, I grew nauseous knowing that so much time had passed. The firefighters were still trying to extinguish the fire made by the jumbo-jet plane and the chance for survivors was diminishing by the second. I received a phone call around eight pm. It was my sister. She told me to pack my bags; she was on her way to come get me. I asked her it they had heard any news, but they had not. When I was picked up, the ride home was quiet. I did not want to go home, expecting to hear to worst-that my brother was dead. When I arrived home, there were over thirty people at my house. ?friends, family, and my brother?s crew. Everyone was in total shock, especially because his 24th birthday was three days after this terrible Tuesday. We learned later that night that my brother was one of seven who were ?officially missing? in his division. As the days passed, no new news arrived. We sat in agony for 11 days until we received the news that Romeo?s body had been identified. It brings a type of closure knowing that he is resting in peace. Even though he is not physically with me today, his memories and smile will always be in my heart. It is truly a deep loss to those who were unable to e touched by my brother. When it seems like we begin to move towards accepting what has happened, things begin to surface, which makes it m much more difficult to deal without my brother. This has undoubtedly tested the love and will of our family and the unending support from everyone. We have been able to cope, given that there is nothing we can do to get our Romeo back. There are not enough words to express how much friends, family and complete strangers have come to our aid. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done-I?ve never lost a good friend, never have buried an immediate relative-I?ve done both since September 11th. As all the other people who have met Romeo know that he was a precious jewel and shined his smile, love, and generosity all over. I will miss Romeo and can?t describe how much. He is the best and will always be our Romeo. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had just arrived to start my work out when the woman who lives next door came in to tell us that a plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. I was surprised because I had worked at the World Trade Center on the 106th floor and couldn't believe a plane had gotten close enough to crash into it. I immediately got in my car and rushed home intime to see on the Today show that a second plane had crashed into the other tower and then I immediately knew it was a terrorist act. I got on the phone and called or should say tried to call all the family members I knew who worked around the area. Try as I might I couldn't get anyone on the phone and started to panic. Luckily, they started to call me to let me know they were OK and trying to get out of the area as soon as possible. The next call I got was from my Mom who now resides in Italy - she was in a panic as well and wanted to make sure we were all OK. I felt such deep pain and sorrow for the people who were lost in those buildings - still to this day it seems so unbelievable, even though my family and I have been to the site of the WTC to see the gapping hole. But through all the pain and sorrow I am glad to have seen New Yorkers come together and help eachother and prove to the world once again that we are a city of love, bravery and strength and we can survive whatever our enemies dish out.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11, 2001 On the day of September 11, 2001, I was in my second period class when my Global Studies teacher came in and you could just tell something was wrong by her facial expressions and the look in her eyes. Normally she has a big smile on her face and she is just always happy, but not today. She came in and turned on the television right when the second plane flew into the World Trade Center. I remember my eyes filling with salty water and hearing all of my classmates awing and saying, "how could this be?" You could just see the fear in their eyes but none of us thought it was real at first. We thought it was a movie but it wasn't. It was real. Seeing this happen right before our eyes gave me one of the most horrific feelings I have ever felt in my life. Not to bring any memories back or anything, but seeing all the people jumping out of the buildings, I was hoping that it was like the cartoons when the little firemen came running, holding a blanket underneath them and yelling "I got you" and actually catching them. I guess it doesn't happen like that because this is the real world. We know that all of the 343 firemen and approximately 90 policemen that died while looking for the people that had already been killed in the Twin Towers died trying to to find them and and trying to save the ones that made it. I thank the firemen, policemen, and the paramedics so much for what they did. I think very differently about the policemen now since I know that they are here to help us not just to get us in trouble. To me, the policemen, firemen, and the paramedics are like Angels here to save the day. Now that we know that there might be future terrorist attacks, we can learn from September 11, 2001 and try to stop them before they happen. Our country is tightening down a lot more on our security systems. The government has giving advice on what to do if you see a terrorist. I don't think that this time the terrorists are going to be on a plane. The next time someone thinks of making a terrorist attack I really and truly just don't think it is going to be in the air. Now that this has happened I think that President Bush is going to take stronger precautions and he is going and he is going to make this is all better. Hopefully, he will make peace with Afghanistan so that we don't fight with them anymore. I also hope that he tries and makes peace with every country that we have conflicts with. I hope that there won't be a next time for us to learn from and experience like this. I know thought that no matter what we will probably have conflicts like like this until the world explodes or until everyone is extinct. The best we can do is try to make everything better. I am really sorry and very sympathetic for all the families out there and I hope that everything goes well with them. I believe that all of you are being watched by all of your loved ones that were in the Twin Towers and in the Pentagon. I will Pray for all of you. May you meet your loved ones some day but in a better passing.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in a computer business called SpectraSystems (which has since gone out of business). One of the computer technicians was assisting me with getting my web site published so I could add information to it. My site is called http://www.revealinggodsbreath.com. I thought the significance of what I was trying to get published and the attack on the World Trade Center was awesome. I was trying to get God's word out to the world and Satan was trying to destroy the United States. Another customer came in and asked if we had heard anything. We all thought it was a sick joke, but then one of the technicians wives called and we knew it was not a joke. They pulled the news up on a computer and we watched it there. It was awful. I will never forget that day. My husband drives a fuel truck, several, as a matter of fact. I went by his place of business to make sure he had heard about it and since that time, they have had to make so many changes and take so many precautions to make sure terrorists do not take one of the fuel trucks and use it as a bomb like they did the planes.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had just come out of my Word Processing class at Central Kentucky Technical College when a girl had said that a plane had crashed into a building. Upon further conversation and television viewing, my thoughts of "oh it is just a pilot that can't fly" turned into "oh my god, those people" The images that were on the television were horrific and mind boggling. All that I could think was that the world was coming to an end. There was a lot of talk around the school about the Guard Station in Kentucky with all of the explosives in Nichlosville and what if anything could be done to save those of us close to home. When the last plane crashed it was hard to know if it was relief that the attacks were over and did not come close to home, or sorrow for those that were directly affected. I can only hope that as the time passes from that dreadful September day, that our lives can begin to come back to "normal" and that the pain will subside.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I can't really remember much of that day. I was a sixth grader at Orange Hunt Elementary school. I remember we were in the middle of class, school had just started, and our principal came rushing in. They set up a T.V. in the main room and put all of the sixth graders in it. Before they turned to T.V. on, Mrs. Barbie, our principal, started explaining to us that we had to "be strong for the other students" As we watched what was happening to the towers on the T.V. I didn't really understand. Why were the Twin Towers burning? It didn't make sense to me at the time. I learned later that the terrorists had also attacked the Pentagon and that my father was there fighting the fire that had broken out after the plane had crashed. I'm so glad my father didn't die there. Looking back I see everyone was so united and banded together, but right now I see everyone fighting and messing up each others lives. To this day I have a deep hatred for Osama and his kind. What type of foul, disgusting, vomited piece of trash could do this to other people? Just because they don't agree with your view on life doesn't mean you can destroy theirs! What if we went over and completely destroyed you? Destroyed your family? Ruined your life? Would you see then? Would you understand what we have had to go through? Probably not. People like them disgust me. People so narrow-minded should get hit in the head! You have no right to ruin someone else's life! Go ruin your own life and leave us alone!

Tell us your story: I was in the doctors office when the first plane hit the twin towers.The entire doctors office stopped working as we all gathered around the tv in awe as we watched the next few moments unfold. During the entire time the doctor would see a patient then step back out into the lobby and watch somemore coverage. After I left the doctors office my dad and I listened to the radio as more reports of terrisom unfolded. We cried and spoke of all the men and women who must have meet with certain death. The next thoughts were of family we have just outside of Washington DC. It took 2 days to reach them to make sure they were fine. My son of 13 then called from schoo; worried about his great aunt and great uncle. He was so upset that he could not stay at school.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: At 8:55 am my husband called me from work and urged me to turn on the news. He said a plane crashed into the Twin Towers. When I turned on the news I saw one of the towers on fire and smoke billowing out. I couldn't believe my eyes. I remember turning for one split second and when I turned back I witnessed the second plane collide with the second tower. My heart just sank. At that point it didn't sink in but as I drove to pick up a friend on McLean Ave in Yonkers I could see so clearly the towers on fire from the New York State Thruway South right before the McLean Avenue exit. My heart just dropped. I couldn't believe it! The Trade Towers were about 45 minutes away from where I was driving but from the window of my car I thought I could reach out and touch it. When I reached work everyone was nervous not knowing what was happening. We heard of the third plane hitting the pentagon and it was clearly real to us. We were under attack. On the radio were heard someone live telling the radio announcer on 1010 Wins that the first tower had just came down before her eyes. I ran to an office on the 6th floor of our building and the sight was horrific. I saw a big black mushroom in the sky. It looked just like a scene from a nuclear bomb. I couldn't stop crying from then on. I was born and raised in New York. I have a vague recollection of my father taking us to the Trade Center when we were children one night to the observatory. It was a majestic view. Nothing could compare. Right then I realized how much I loved being a New Yorker. That New York runs through my blood, its not just a place, its a feeling. The few times I was sent to the trade center on business I remember the feeling of intimidation. Those buildings were huge and powerful. I wanted to work there but I realized that it was not a place for me. The Twin Towers actually scared me. Even through all of my mixed emotions about them I still loved them. They were a place I could drive by at any time. I loved seeing them at night and I loved visiting the Atrium around midnight. Where else in the world could you go that would make your heart pound so loudly than there. I've been to the Eiffle Tower and it doesn't compare. On December 27, 2001 I finally visited the site and once I looked into the gaping hole I broke down in tears. I closed my eyes and I could hear the screams from the people lost there. It's like I felt their souls reaching out for me. I asked God to watch over them. I don't think I can over really go back down there. I don't know when my wounds will heal but that September 11, 2001 will never be erased from my mind. That day, someone betrayed me as a New Yorker. The one thing they didn't get me to do is run from here. I don't think I'll ever run from New York. It's my home, its where I belong, its where I was born and now it's a part of me. I'm proud to be a New Yorker. I'm proud to say that New York runs through my viens. May God Bless the souls lost, they're in my heart forever.
