I remember sitting in my first period psych class during my senior year of high school, when someone ran in our classroom and told the teacher to turn on the TV. We didn't have to flip through channels to find the news. It was on every station. A plane had crashed into the World Trade Center  in New York City, and another followed shortly after we tuned in. It was an unbelievable sight.

Ten years later, I'm still as thankful as ever for those who risked their lives to help others during and after the tragedy. I will never forget.
