Remembering

I can't believe it's been 11 years today. Every anniversary of 9/11 brings back the fear I felt that day.

I was a junior in high school and had just grabbed my seat in English class. Someone was going to each classroom telling teachers what was happening. Classrooms that had TV turned them on to watch the horror that was unfolding before us. This wasn't something my mind could wrap around. Every period was spent discussing what was happening in NYC.

I remember going to work at a grocery store that afternoon. Everyone was distraught. People were coming in and buying up groceries like we were about to be snowed in. I was scared and didn't know what to think or what to do.

I will never understand everything that happened that day. My heart is still with the victims families.
