On September 11th 2001 it was a normal school day as my Spanish class at North Rockland High School in New York was about to begin.
A regular school day turned into complete chaos just in seconds as screams of horror and fear filled the hallways.
Many lives were completely changed and terrorized but we were not destroyed. The nation united and with God we found the strength to overcome. Today we remember and honor all those innocent lives lost due to this terrorist attack on our country. I thank God for keeping safe family members and friends who were supposed to work at the WTC that day but couldn’t make it. A silly stomach ache or mild cold kept a few lives safe from entering buildings where death awaited.
God works mysterious ways and is always in control. In God we trust!
I love my beautiful New York, even though I’m miles away you’ll always be my true home!
