911DA Story: Story

I found out about the attacks as I was walking across campus with a friend. I hadn't had the TV or radio on that morning, so I knew nothing of it. My friend and I talked about it, but at that point we didn't know it was an attack. We thought it was just an accident. As I sat in my second class that day, my professor began talking to us about what had taken place. She was so shaken by it, that she canceled class for the rest of the week. Her husband was in New York, and she unable to get in touch with him. Thankfully, he was okay. Though we still grieve all the fellow Americans that we did lose on that horrible day. My blessings and prayers go out to all of America.
