On September 11, 2001 I was at work going on with my normal day. I arrived at work around 8:30am and like always I turned on my radio. Around 8:50 there was announcement that the world trade tower was hit by a plane, so I wasn't thinking that it was a act to hurt americans but then another announcement came across the radio that another plane hit the second tower. I just started crying I thought about all the people that were in the buildings and hoping and praying that they make it out alive. It was a very sad and scary day for me and my family. I just thought that we were going to die and how short life really is. I left work and went to pick my son up from school I figured if any thing else bad was going to happen I would rather be with my family. So many people died and they wasn't able to say good bye to their love ones and my prayers go out to the families of the 911 tragedies. So many people lost their husbands,wives, and children. My heart still goes out to the many people who lost love ones. Today is a day of remembrance for all of our hero's of this great country. Thou I walk through the shadow of death I will fear no evil. May God continue to bless all of us. My Name is Sonya Pressley from Blackwood NJ
