that day

today, as i woke up and got ready for class, i could not help but stop to take a moment to reflect upon what happened on this day six years ago. i remembered what i had done that morning, when i turned on the television and saw what was happening. i had gotten up, just like any other morning, had my breakfast, and gotten ready for school...the television was on in the living room, and at that point everyone was still thinking that is was an accident...that is was a plane crash and not terrorism. i went to school, i was a freshman in high school, and the school i was going to was a very small private school - only about 86 students total, so they gathered us all up and we went into the student lounge where we all sat in horror as the second plane hit. it was such an awful thing, so hard for everyone to accept as reality. even today, it is hard to accept that the events of that day were a reality and not a movie, or a television drama...my thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost loved ones that day, i am sure that their wounds are far from healed even now.
