The morning of September 11, 2001 started out just like every other morning for me. I woke up in my dorm room and thought I would watch some tv while I got ready for class. As soon as I turned on the tv it was everywhere, a plane had hit the World Trade Center. It was the scariest thing I had ever seen on tv. My roommate and I called our parents and quickly touched based with all of our loved ones. Being away at school my parents were so worried, no one knew what was going to take place next. I sat in front of the tv for days and cried. We walked around in terror to class and I talked to my family more than I had in weeks. I think it ultimately brought us as a country together more, but it was one of the scariest saddest times of my lives.
