I woke up around 7am as usual to prepare for work. I turned on the Television to Fox 59 as I did every morning and would
listen to the news while I prepared for work. There was a
break in the news to report the first collison into the 1st
World Trade center. After that point I was totally glued to
the television with dis-belief. I don't believe I ever felt
that scared in all my life, as if the whole world had just
caved in. All my thoughts and feelings of ever feeling secure had just ran down the drain. I then fell into a silent self depression of my own, not understanding how this could happen on this wonderful Earth. And how could
this really be happening. Why? I kept thinking to myself. I
had never really listened to much television about some of
the Political stuff that had been going on before, but after that I couldn't get enough radio, television etc.
In my mind I will never truly understand why the whole
entire world cant be just be one big happy family, helping one another etc. To this day I pray for world peace, but until the whole world wants it. it will never happen.


Thank you.
