I woke up and stumbled to the bathroom, still half asleep, getting ready for another day at my college internship. My roomate's boyfriend was in the living room and yelled to my roomate something, but I did not hear what he said. All I heard was her telling him to "shut up! your lying." I heard her walk into the living room and then heard both of them in yelling in shock, "Oh my god, this can't be happening." I ran out of the bathroom into the living room, in disbelief, I watched the chaos unfold in DC and New York. I didn't move from the television for the next 24 hours.

I decided to switch from a career in business to one of law.

That these people did not die in vain. They died living free and VIRTUEOUS. The very thing that those that killed them cannot imagine to exist.

I took the American flag that was on my gradfather's coffin (World War II) and draped it from the top of my mom's two story house. It was my personal slap in the face to the terroists!
