World Trade Center

Yesterday evening I decided to go to the movies to see World Trade Center. You talking about a good movie. Wow! I was floored at how touched I was by the movie. It is definitely a must see nad be prepared to cry. There was a couple points in the movie that i had tears falling down my cheeks. I know crying. Yeah it had to be a good movie it I had tears flowing. It made me think back to my freshman year at HPU. When i first heard about the planes flying into the world trade center. I was jyust entering my second class of the day. It was Beginning Acting Skjills. One of my classmates, Pam Grier, came into the class and was like you guys will never believe what just happened. Of course we were all ignorant to the fact of what was transpiring. It was crazy when she was telling us about it. We all thought this can't be true. Class ended up being cancelled and wI went straight to my room to catch the news. And there is where I saw the news stories about what was going on. America had been put under attack. My roommate and myslef sat in the room very quiet listening to the newscast. We both couldn't believe what was going on . it was very surreal. I didn't expect anything to ever happen like this in America. I didn't realize how much America would be changed by everything that happened that day. Here we are almost five years later and are we any closer to finding Osama Bin Laden? I don't know for sure, but I highly doubt it. I won't bore you all with my thoughts on this situation . I encourage all of you to go out and see this movie. It gives you a chance to see how a couple of familes dealt with not knowing if their loved one would be coming home that day.
