We join you in remembering those whose lives were taken

What a strange day 9/11 is for me and

for many.

 It's still a surreal day.

I was a sophmore in college.

the school was listening to the radio.

 They weren't sure what happened...

 The radio thought 2 planes collided...

When the facts were out, the school

emptied out in a heart beat

 There were many teachers that

had friends and family members working

in the twin towers when 9/11 happened.

I had a few friends working in the city as well

but they were not in the towers & they were able to

get to a different part of the city for safety.

AFTER 9/11, everyone was driving with the

American Flag and people seemed to have bonded together.

People were treating one another nicer

 and showed they cared.

 I know life gets busy and makes you

 crazy....

 I guess this e mail is about knowing

 what you got before it goes bad.

 Be nice to people because it's the right thing

 to do, NOT because

something bad happened.

You probably have a LOT of people around you that

you could be nicer to as well.

Don't wait for something bad to happen before you

 care and realize what you've got.
