I was a college student on a typical sunny day. I first heard what was happening from a television in the upstairs lounge of the Agriculture building. School was dismissed and I went to work. I worked at the McDonalds in town. The confusion spread throughout town and working in the public made me more aware of what people were thinking and how the general area was reacting. The events of that day brought me closer to my friends as well as to my coworkers. As a group, my friends and I seemed to cherish life more than ever that day and a persons heart cries out for those lost.
