11 Years Ago

September 11, 2001 is a day I will never forget. Although I cannot remember exactly what I was doing or what was going on, I do remember seeing the smoke rising from the towers on TV. 

Here is what I do remember: 

I was sitting in my mom's classroom at Carlsbad High School when someone ran in and told her to turn the TV on in her class. I remember seeing the smoke rise from the tower and not knowing what it was caused by.

That is all I can really remember about that day, but I was only 8 years old. What would expect? 

But now, it is one of my "favorite" parts of history. A time where the country came together. A day where everyone supported each other no matter race, religion, age, or gender. 

September 11, 2001. A day we lost thousands. A day our country changed. A day we mourned but also came together as a country. And a day we will NEVER forget.

Enjoy the day but remember to pray for those who lost someone on this day 11 years ago!
