WOW A long gap

Since the last post. Well, here's what I remember about 9/11:

I was in 7th grade, in Social Studies class, when the teacher left the room and he was told that there is some breaking news on Channel 5 (our NBC Affiliate). So our teacher turned it on and I remember seeing the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. And I remembered seeing the South Tower collapse. But I really didn't grapse what happened until later that day when my mom picked me up from school. She told me what happened and that's when it sunk in. I remember that day at school, people being dismissed like crazy and I was wondering what was going on there must be a lot of people sick that day. But that night I remember going out to eat with my mom because we originally planned on doing that that night. I remember not wanting to, and I remember my mom telling me something that I will remember forever: Don't let the terrorist win. We went out to eat and I remember going to church that evening for a special service. We lit candles and prayed. I remember a few days later, the President saying to go outside at 7 PM and light a candle. The patriotism that was shown that day on 9/11 is something that I will remember forever. 10 years later it's still fresh in my mind. 9/11/01, Never Forget.
