I'm a college student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania studying communications media. I work at the campus tv station and was doing my office hours in the office when I heard the news. The professor in charge of the station came in and told us what happened. The television was immediately turned on and we sat in silence watching. It was devastating, shocking. I left the station and went back to my dorm room. My roommate, Julie, and I turned on the TV and just cried. I didn't have family or friends in any of the three places where the acts of terrorism ocurred, but the terror I felt that day was just as strong. America now stands proud, as do I.
