I was taking a test in my business class at college when my class was informed about the attack. Everyone was in a state of disblief. The instructor dismissed class, and students crowded into the jymnasium to watch the happenings over the television. While watching the news coverage, the full impact of the tradegy hit me as I realized that there were individuals that were in agony who had loved ones in the trade center, and that it might be some time before they knew weather they were alive or not. I began weeping and praying with the other students. I was surrounded by grieving and dissbelieving students. Throughout the day, we continued to stay together and pray. Many of us became aware of how precious and uncertain life is. What I have learned from this tradegy is the renewed awareness of how very fragile and uncertain life is. I have become newly grateful for my family and friends--I have renewed faith in the general goodness of my fellow neighbors and have begun an ongoing effort to show love, help and support to everyone who comes into my life. Sept.11th will forever remain in the memory of the american people. The positive outpouring of love and support will forever remain with all of America as we continue to remember, grieve and support the families of the Sept.11th attack. Hopefully, with renewed awareness of the need to reach out to one another, America will grow in their strength and love for their fellowman. I did not personally know anyone who lost someone in the attack. I wanted to write this to let anyone who reads it know that I love them, and in the hope that they will gain some small comfort from it. Bobbi Combs--Kentucky
