My heart is very heavy as I write this post and I am fighting back tears as I remember this day day 8 years ago. It's weird because at the time I wasn't emotional at all and really I had no idea what was going on or the magnitude of the situation. I was a senior in high school and I remember walking into my 1st period history class, not having any clue what had already happened. I saw that the t.v. was on and a few people were already in class talking about it. I thought that it was just a movie we were going to watch and I think I even asked someone what movie it was (I wasn't very quick). I can't remember exactly what I did after that, I think we all went home, but I am not sure. I do remember my boyfriend at the time coming over in tears and I thought he was being such a baby for crying over some buildings being knocked down. It still hadn't sunk in to me that people were in the buildings. I didn't even begin to think this was an intentional attack on our country until someone told me, I don't remember how long after it happened that was. Once everything finally registered with me and I knew this was a terrorist attack, I was angry, sad, and confused along with the rest of country. I will never be able to know what those who lost loved ones went through, but I can only imagine how hard and painful that would be. This is a day I will never forget as long as I live.
