On September 11, I was attending a class on Stress Management that my employer felt would be beneficial. The class started at 9 a.m. One of the last people to arrive announced that she had heard a plane had hit the World Trade Center in New York. She was stating that some people said it was a small plane and another station had stated it was a jet. The class continued until about 10:30 when our Director was called out of the session. She didn't return for a very long time so it was very hard to focus on how to manage stress. When Betty came back, it was about 11:05. She indicated that it appeared America was under attack. She was very emotional as she was talking. Because we work in a high rise building and it's located in a large city, a decision had been made to release the employee's asap. We were informed to grab our purses and shut down our computers and proceed home. I remember getting in my truck on my cell phone calling my mom to find out exactly what was going on. She was crying so much that it was hard to understand her. Then, I called my older sister since she travels frequently to make sure that she was ok. I then drove home crying and in a daze. I couldn't believe that someone could take so many innocent lives. When I came home, I went to my neighbors home and we said a prayer. When I finally sat down, I, of course was glued to the TV. I called my children's school to let them know to ride the bus home and debated on getting them from school, but I figured, if I let them stay, then I will be able to get my head together as to how I could explain September 11.
In the days following the attack, my older son just kept asking why. I tried to explain that there are people in this world who are mean, but believe that want they've done is ok. I reassured him that his home and school were safe and we just had to pray for the people who had lost loved ones and for the children who may have lost their mom or dad or both.
One thing I've learned during this unfortunate time is to enjoy every moment you have with your family and friends and not take life for granted. I believe that this has brought every human being together which is what AMERICA was founded on. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts on this day. May god be with each and everyone of us.

This day was very important to me.
In this time, on the 11TH September I had confirmation. I found this event out from the bishop. Than I was depressed. I didn't now what happened exactly. I could not think about something different than this. After I had gone from church to my house I watched tv. It wasn'tgood.I was furious. The terrorist could attack full of people building in the New York or Washington without problems. It means, that they can do it everywhere and destroy everything. Then I felt very endangered.
