I believe I was around 6 years old, I'm not completely sure about what age I was then, I believe I was 6 when the terrorist attacks happened on this date ten years ago. I remember when I was six, I had no idea what was going on. When we were watching as it happened in school, I cannot remember what was going through my head. I probably thought it was a cool action movie or something, little to my knowledge then, it was definetly not an action movie, or cool at all. I hadn't watch the planes crash into the Twin Towers for ten years. I'm not sure why I had never seen them since, but this Friday in History, the whole day was dedicated to the 10th Anniversary of 9/11. We as a class watched everything happen all over again, and it's something you can just never get out of your head. It's pretty much the biggest history event of all of our entire lives. When Osama bin Laden was killed on May 1st in America (or May 2nd), one of my best friends had committed suicide that night. Osama's death completely was overshadowed as I mourned over my friend. I never actually found out the true details of Osama's death or how it went down till last Friday. This is a crazy world we live in. The thing that scares me most about this day is the Mayo Clinic is run down here in Rochester, I believe for it to be a hitlist if the terrorists would ever strike again. Tomorrow I leave on a plane, and that just makes me feel...cautious and nervous. Two years ago, me, two of my sisters, and my dad caught a lost footage film on TV called Terrors From The 88th Floor, horror stories caught on footage from phones and phone conversations all from that day on 9/11 that was retrieved somehow, and it just scars me. Many of those people ended up dead. I try to thing on positive sides today, but is there really any? I went to church this morning (because I am Christian and believe in God), and it was Rally Day. For those who don't know, Rally Day is a day in the Christian Calendar when we get a new mission statement for the year, we rejoice getting through another Church Year and look forward to the one ahead. The sermon was about 9/11. I remember people shedding tears, I listened, not shedding tears, but really touched by it. I prayed for the long and hard and remembered them. I hate to get on the subject of athiesm as well, but that was another huge point of the sermon today, and I took time to pray for all of my atheistic friends, off and online. I just wanted to mention that. My spheel is done now, begin this is getting lengthy and my fingers hurt from typing this so fast.
