Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I got up as usual and went to my Ear Training class in the music building... along with my roommate. Our professor came in a few minutes late and just sat on his desk and looked at us. Then he said "I can't teach like this." None of us knew what had happened, so he told us that a plane had hit the first tower. We immediately went back to our room to turn on CNN and just as the picture came in we saw the second plane hit. None of our classes were officially cancelled, but no one went anyway. Everyone on my floor crowded into our room and sat on my bed with a box of Kleenex and watched CNN and other various news channels for most of the day. It's erie to me that even though this year I am at an entirely different school in a different state, I am in the same class at the same time as I was on September 11th 2001. But the thing I will forever remember, and something I think everyone should have heard is what an international student said as all us girls were crowded on my bed holding hands. She is from Sri Lanka, and she told us "I left my country to come here. I came here to learn. But mostly, I came here to escape terrorism - I came here to escape things like this. I wonder now if I made the right choice." The families of those affected, our nation, our leaders, and the world are forever in my prayers. God Bless you.
