Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE FLORIDA DAY. I WAS ON MY WAY TO A SCHOOL APPOINTMENT FOR MY SON. I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED, TILL WHEN I GOT TO THE SCHOOL. AS SOON AS I WALKED IN, I SAW PEOPLE AROUND THE ONE TV JUST STARING AT IT, LIKE IN SHOCK, DISBELIEF. AS I GOT CLOSER AND SAW THE IMAGES, I ALSO WENT INTO SHOCK AND DISBELIEF. I WAS LIKE WHAT IT'S THIS? IT CAN'T BE HAPPENING. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. RIGHT AFTER HIS APPOINTMENT, MY SISTER CALLED ME, "ALL THE PARENTS ARE PICKING UP THE KIDS AT SCHOOL, PLEASE PICK UP MINE TOO." ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HIT ME, THIS PLACE, THIS UNITED STATES, WHERE WE HAD LIVED MOST OF OUR LIVES, WAS NOT SAFE ANYMORE. THIS WAS SOMETHING YOU WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO HAD HAPPENED SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT NOT HERE, NOT AT HOME. AS I PICK UP MY KIDS AND MY NIECES AND NEPHEW, I REALIZED HOW SCARED AND HOW FRIGHTENED THEY WERE ABOUT THE SITUATION. I JUST HUG THEM AND TOLD THEM THAT IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT. BUT OF COURSE, IT'S NOT ALRIGHT, IT WOULD NEVER BE ALRIGHT. THIS WOULD BE A DAY THAT WILL FOREVER REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS AS THE SADDEST DAY IN HISTORY, BUT ALSO IT WOULD BE A GOOD ONE, BECAUSE THE NATION, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BECAME ONE AGAIN AS A WHOLE. NO MATTER WHAT RACE OR WHAT BACKGROUND, BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC,INDIAN,ETC. WE ALL BECAME ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE.
