Where were you when 9\/11 happened?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I was just waking up and ready to leave my dorm room for art class at San Diego State University. My roommates had the TV on and we were all in disbelief. I remember calling my mom and telling her that I was still going to class. I remember how quiet the campus was and how long it took me to get to the studio, which of course was empty. I remember staying there and saying a prayer on the outer ledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

How has this tragic event affected the way you live your life today?

I hope that it is a life of love and compassion. This a time and era where we need to stop being “haters”, hating each other, wishing malicious intent upon those we don’t like or care for. This is NOT<\/strong> the time for that and I do sincerely hope that we can be humble and love each other moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to all of our service men and women and the families affected on that day, who sacrificed their lives (and whom continue to sacrifice) for our freedom. I appreciate you each and every day.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
