September 11, 2011 
Everyone remembers where they were when they found out. I was in Grade 8 at Laurelwood Public School in music class, when a few class clowns from another class ran in and screamed “America is under attack!”. They immediately got kicked out. In the next class, English, my teacher received a phone call. I distinctly remember the one end of the conversation I could hear.
“A meeting?…What for? Is it serious?…Oh…oh my…well that is serious. Do I tell..? Okay. Alright.”
I ran home at lunch to see video on repeat of the World Trade Center buildings collapsing. These buildings I had known very well, because it was on August 11, 2001 that I for the first time, was standing on the top floor of these buildings. 
I had fallen in love with New York on that trip, and although I was miles away and too young to understand - my newly adopted home town was being attacked and my heart broke for them.
DisneyBound remembers all the brave souls who sacrificed their lives and all of the families who were torn apart 10 years ago today.
