Tell us your story: On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was finished getting ready for school and trying to wait patiently for my mom to take me to school. This was no different from any other morning; after eating breakfast, i grabbed my books and sat on the bed in my mother's room watching "Good Morning America" waiting to leave for school. I was yelling at my mom to get her act together, i couldn't be late to school again! All of a sudden I looked into Diane Sawyer's eyes on the television staring back at me and saw fright like I have never seen before. The set was frantic and new stories were coming in, and by the look of it, I wasn't expecting good news. Suddenly those horrible words that would haunt me haunt me forever were spoken. "The World Trade Center has been hit." At the time I didn't know the significance of that phrase, and now I look back and regret my ignorance that day. Riding to school knowing that I wasn't even sure of what the Towers were used for. Although I knew that because my mom was so awe-struck, what was going on was catastrophic, and would probably have a big impact on the week. Never in a million years would i have believed that morning on my way to school, that regular day until 7 :45 am and what was on the news was going to be history in the making. This was going to change me. This is going to change my friends. This is going to change Westlake. This is going to change the nation.
