september 11th

in case i forget: 8 years ago i was living in beverton, oregon. i had just started my junior year in high school. i had woken up, like any other school day and got in the shower. when i got out, i turned the radio on to get ready for school. i think it was about 6 in the morning. that's when i first heard it. a plane that crashed into the twin towers. as i walked passed the stairs to enter my room, my mom was at the bottom and asked if i has heard the news. i told her i had. i couldn't believe it. i went to school, but it wasn't a normal day. in some classes we talked about it shortly and then moved on with whatever was planned for that day. other classes, that's all we talked about. though we were still affected by these events on the west coast, i found the anger of those who where my age stronger on the east coast, which is understandable. (i moved from OR to CT in dec of 2001)

thanks to other friends, where is a video that i think is worth watching. i would put in my blog, but it seems to cut off part of it.
