9.11

I attended the 9:11:01 presentation on campus on last night and it moved me. It was insane for me to hear the pieced together story of what each freshman [who was in 8th grade at the time] went through that day. It sent me back to that day in my head, reminding me of the confusion and sadness. I remember holding friends that had parents and relatives that worked in the building, worked as fire fighters nearby, and even those that were deployed as first responders. I remember assuring my friends that just because they couldn't reach their family members that they would be fine. And I remember comforting a girl who we would later found out lost her father in the disaster of 9.11.

I can't believe it has been five years.
