911DA Story: Story
My name is Angelica Fausto, I'm originally from El Salvador
and I live here in this beutiful Country of USA.
I have made this place my home and love it I'm also so thankful for the gig oportunity to live here.
Resently I became an American Citizen .In order to do that
I had to study a lot about the History of the USA, so I do
apretiate what this country is form of.
On September 11,2001 I got to work about 9:00am pacific time
and put my stuff away, went to the cafeteria to get coffe.
They had the news on tv..and I couldn't believe what I was watching.I was to painful to see and I wasn't sure whether is was true or not.
I have two beutiful children whom I love dearly, they were
the first that came to mind.I prayed !
I prayed to God for the protection to this Nation and for the people of America. I lift my believe to the only power
on high.
I gave thanks to God for the relatives of those that were in danger.For their hearts to be healed.
I came back to my office and got a phone called from my boss,who said " Angelica, please close the store and go back
home to your family,I don't want to risk your life,we are
just 2 blocks away from LAX...and to me you are more important then my store"
With that, I left and went back home...
Since then I believe that our Nation has changed...
TO a better Country, to Country filled of great people.
People that care , people that love ,people that has decided to stand strong and be the best they can be .
As we remember that day...
Those are my words to share !
God bless every one .
