Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On 911 I was sitting in my Psych. class and at the time I had no idea what was happening. Only to figure out later that it would be a day that would change my perception of my whole life. I walked out of class with my best friend and then noticed a bunch of students and faculty gathered around a television. I saw a news reporter and thought that it must be something slightly important but I was running late for class. I told my friend that I would meet her after my math class to go home. While walking to my math class I realized that not to many people were walking around campus. I walked into class to see my teacher crying. I had no idea what had happened until she said that something very tragic has happened to our country and class is canceled for the day so we can go home to our families. I walked back to Bodie hall (where the television was set up at) only to find more people there. I had to search for my best friend because I was terrified of what more was to come. Finally we met up and she filled me in on what had happened. From there we went straight to the car and put on the AM stations. When I heard what had happened it made me think a lot about how I take every second of every minute of the day for granted. That I need to take more time to appreciate what I have right in front of me. There were a lot of "Would if's" flying around in my head, as I am sure with many other people in this country. I think that I am very blessed to be an American and receive all the freedom that I am given. All that I could remember was all those children without mothers and fathers. How grateful I am to have my mom and dad involved in my life. All these people losing their loved ones and I couldn't even imagine losing my best friends. So for everyone out there make sure you tell someone everyday that you love him or her, because you never know what your future hold for you.
