Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11, 2001 was the day that changed the world. For many families, it was the worst morning in their life. People said ?bye? to their love ones as routine without knowing that it was going to be the last one. I lived through this catastrophe close to Washington. My host mom and me were preparing my host dad?s birthday and listening to the radio. We heard the terrible news and turned on the television immediately. I could not believe my eyes. At first, I had a movie, a very well made Hollywood movie, in my mind. Then I realized that it was the reality. I got ? paralyzed?. I could not move from the television. I was just starring at the screen for hours and hours, but everything was blurred. My thoughts were somewhere else. I thought of my family and I was glad that they were not here. They were back in Europe out of harms way. I tried to make contact with them and let them know that I was all right, but the lines were busy. Few hours after the tragedy, I finally reached my relatives. They were worried about me, but at the same time they were relieved to know that I was fine. After the catastrophe my family was concerned about my staying in America. They would have liked me to be next to them. I convinced them successfully that I was secure from the terrorists. Although, it was a shocking experience, I have never felt that my life is in danger.
