Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had been out of work for several weeks after being fired for falling asleep, because of new medications. My upstairs neighbor (and friend) called me at about noon and told me to turn on my television. I spent 4 days watching TV and hoping and crying. After witnessing the courage of all those people, and especially the unknown circumstances of what the heroes did on flight 93 - I decided my problems were nothing compared to what other people were going through. I pulled myself together, got a wonderful job as an accountant for the Baltimore County school system, and I constantly remember the inspiration of the people of that day and of the weeks that followed. Although I am still fighting the still unknown illness, I am trying to begin a business for myself, and whenever I get weary or frustrated, I remember those other who struggles so hard, and I try to accomplish whatever goals I have set for myself for that day. Today, one year later, I am also at a low ebb, but once again, through the sadness, I believe the inspiration of the courage of 9/11 will help me to turn my life around. If this tiny good can come to many people from so much sadness, as I believe it must, not only will that day and all the people that have died, or have lost loved ones, not have been in vain; but will have brought the people OF THE WORLD into a greater realization of the importance of PEACE ON EARTH. My hearts are with everyone that suffered in any way on that fateful day of 9/11.
