March 10, 2002 ( Sunday, March 10, 2002 ) 
Wow. I'm currently watching a CBS show about the 911 attacks and it's amazing. It's so powerful. All the emotions that ran through my body on the day came back only 5 times stronger. They had video from inside the buildings and it was all so unbelievable. I can remember waking up on that day and sitting in my parents room watching the TV, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes wondering what was happening. I had barely heard of the World Trade Center before that day, and all of a sudden it became part of my everyday vocabulary for weeks to come. Then I remember sitting in the History class room watching the towers collapse and just wanting to go home. Even though I knew it was thousands of miles away, I just wanted to go home and be safe. All day my nerves were on high alert. I even remember looking up to the clear blue sky just before walking to school. Not really expecting to see anything but just scared of what that large blue emptiness was capable of dishing out. I came home and all I could do was watch the tv. I wanted so badly to pull myself away from it, but I couldn't. For weeks to come I found myself in front of that machine watching those poor people enduring hell on earth. I remember one of my friends complaining that she couldn't watch her favourite TV show because all that was on was news. That was on Sept.12. There was nothing really for anyone here to do but pray. I went to a memorial service and donated money to Firefighters in New York, but there was still so much I felt I had to do. It was a time like that, which reinforced my dream of becoming a nurse. It's the least I can do. |
