Where Were You?

Where were you when you heard the news?  I was at the Sarasota County Technical Institute in the middle of a typing exercise.  One of the administrators came in and told us that a plane had just hit the World Trade Center.  At first, I thought they were talking about a small private plane.  It was only after I walked into the next room where the TV was at did I realize what happened.  American Airlines Flight 11 had just plowed into the North Tower.  People crowded around the TV, watching the scene unfold.  Suddenly, United Airlines Flight 175 slammed into the South Tower.  Life would never be same after that. 


Eleven years later, we still remember the loss of nearly 3,000 people.  As we remember that tragedy, we need to be reminded how precious life is.  When did you spend quality time with a loved one or shared a kind word or deed?  Life is to precious to let slip through our fingers. 9-11 should teach us that. 

Thanks to Archetype, we can honor and be reminded of that tragic day, on the 9-11 memorial website .  Let us not forget, both 9-11 and the preciousness of life.
