This page is dedicated to the Sept.11 disaster that happened in New York and also Washington. Even though the attacks didn`t effect me personally, it has effected people I know.

A question that people will often ask is: "Where were you when this happened?" Well, I remember very clearly where I was - sitting in my period 1 class - grade 10 english, listening to the teacher. Around 10:30am, the principal came over the P.A. System and said something about it, but nobody could hear due to the class talking so much. I didn`t know much of anything until 3rd period, grade 10 math when our teacher mentioned something about it. The next class I had, grade 10 Civics - we spent the whole class talking about it, and the next day too. Also the next day, with it on our minds so much, our english teacher let us write whatever we wanted about it and in whatever form. I chose to write a poem.

Another reason the tragedy comes up in my mind often is the fact that my wonderful boyfriend Matt asked me out three days later. So whenever I picture that day in my mind, I also remember what happened three days earlier. Also, another reason, my 16th birthday will be on the Sept.11th`s 8 month anniversary. That`s why I decided to have a page about it on my site.
