My husband called and said, "turn on the T.V.". I knew something was terrible wrong by the sound of his voice. I watched in horror as I felt that our freedom was in jeopardy. I was so sad for all the lives lost and I had the feeling of total helplessness. I own a dance studio and my first thought was to cancel classes.......but then I decided that the children needed normalcy now more than ever! We had class and out of about 100 students for that day there were only two students who did not attend. Everyone was glad to dance and show the terrorists that we are strong and will survive. I am very proud to be an American!
