The day began as usual for me and my family of 3. Rushing off to school and work. I had just been promoted to a new position in the University and was very busy trying to learn my job. I have the opportunity to work with 2 of my sisters. I was busy at my job when my older sister came into the mail room of our department and had a terrible look on her face, she had told me a jet had hit the World Trade Center, immediately I noticed almost everyone in our Business Office was up out of their desks and running to the nearest TV. We watched as the other jet crashed and then yet another. Our worked had stopped. I also immediately thought about my 13 yr od twin daughters and their reaction, as well as safety, because I began thinking after I heard of the second jet crashing, about a terroist attack, it had finally happened. I hate doubting our government, but for some reason I always thought that if they wanted to get to us they would do anything to do so. I tried to call the school several times. The lines were busy...... I finally reached the school principal and she assured me the children were fine. and they had began counseling them on this terrible attack. The day seemed to last forever, I cried for the families and victims of the attack. As I look back on this day I still become angered saddened and disturbed thinking of this day. How could anyone be so cruel to do this????? I still cry to this day and especially on this day.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
