It was almost just another morning for me. Sometimes when things happen to the rest of the country it doesn't really effect us in ALaska .I woke up, got on the internet and there it was. I thought it was a movie. Some big hollywood picture. I didn't know if it was true. The school day was a mix of buisness and emotion.SOme teachers but CNN or MSNBC on, some tried to get by with out talking. WE all had questions, I know I did. But now, I know they couldn't answer them. I remember that on the bus ride, there was a sign on one of the windows. It read " Were At War." THe bus driver told us we weren't. I f we weren't, I didn't know what war was. What had the most impact on me that day was the quiet. Never in my life have I ever heard everything around me so quiet. I remember my mother crying. And my 3 year old sisters world changing before our eyes. I won't forget, and hopefully know one ever will. I will tell my sister what happen. What I remember from that day. WE all know who the heroes are. Godbless you NYPD FDNY
