It has been around five years since the terrorists changed the world. In five years, so much has changed, but instead of focusing on what has happened since 9/11, let's focus on what you were doing on that day. How did you feel when the terrorists flew those planes into the towers and the pentagon? How did you feel after the towers fell?
I remember I was in Cebu, Philippines going through another somber occsion. I was in a room in my relative's house, enjoying the few moments I had in the Philippines. Then, I received a call from my uncle in Los Angeles. He told me to watch CNN. I went down to see what was happening and I saw the towers burning. Soon after, I saw the second tower being hit. I was shocked and didn't know what to think. My sister was crying when she saw this scene. I ended up staying up at 3-4 in the morning. I couldn't sleep after that because I was so shocked. My flight going back to the US was cancelled and I ended up leaving three days after my original flight, hoping nothing would happen.
