I was suppose to be getting ready for my morning class at Texas Tech University, but the previous night I had decided to give myself a break and sleep in. When my roommate came into my bedroom to wake me up just because my father was on the telephone for me I was a bit frustrated about having to wake up, but that all quickly vanished when he told me what was going on. He said that they were watching Fox News and heard that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I jumped out of bed and ran to the television just in time to see the second plane hit. Chills hit my body and my father and I quietly said goodbye so that we could focus on the news. I sat there all morning long through the breaking coverage and my heart sank as I watched the great towers collapse into a heap of rubble and dust. The images and words of that day will forever be etched into my memory. Never will I forgot what happened on "that morning without reason."
