I'll never forget where I was. Mrs Fs fifth grade science class. I remember all the teachers left suddenly and came back crying. Ended up sending us home.

Didn't really sink in what happened for a while cause I was just a kid. But I also had no idea how it would shape my future.

And now every year on this day I climb 110 flights of stairs to remember those that were lost.

I was a freshman in college. A week on campus, and suddenly every classmate went from completely apathetic about geopolitics to insta-patriots.

It was the strangest thing to see. My classmates changed visibly, like they all suddenly wanted war.
