[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 98022, member: 775"] The first thing I saw that day was the black cloud of where the WTC was supposed to be at. My roommate (I live in a dorm room) had come into the room and turned on the TV while I slept. He started yelling "Oh my God! The World Trade Center is gone!" I woke up and looked at the TV. Although I couldn't see very well without my contacts, I saw the New York skyline...minus one WTC. The first person I thought of was my Ex-girlfriend, I wondered if she was okay. I knew that she sometimes goes to NYC. I eventually found out she was. I admit, I was scared, terrified. But I when I found out terrorist were involved I knew that's exactly what they wanted. So I shoved those feeling down. And continued with my day as normally as possible (going to class, etc). I comforted people people that needed conforting. I cried when nobody was around. I had to be some kind of strength for people to look up to. Set an example. And I used that energy I pent up to change my life forever. I released it in the things I do to better my life and those around me. The images I saw that day I will remember for the rest of my life. But I will not let them haunt me. I will let them be a reminder that life is fragile, and be grateful the things I have. And yet despite the fact horrible things happened that day, there were many acts of heroism. There are heroes within us all. Ulrick [/QUOTE]
