Remembering 9/11

EDIT:
I'M EXTREMELY SAD THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO WAS REMOVED FROM YOUTUBE :(


beautiful song off of Beyonce's latest album 4.
"i was here"

i had woken up early for school and was getting ready.  every morning i'd turn on my radio and listen to music while getting dressed for school.  i remember hearing the news over the radio, and being in awe and shock.  my friend chase and his mom picked me up that morning for carpool, and i remember hopping in their van and telling them the news. 
 it was all such a crazy surreal day.  my history teacher that year was a new yorker.  {he had the accent and all.}  walking into his classroom that day was emotional and raw.  he was sitting on his desk, staring at the tv.  he had many friends and family back home in new york.  no one could believe it, it seemed like a hazy dream, nightmare. 
in all the classes that day and the rest of the week class was focused on the tv and writing in journals and papers about how we were feeling and just letting it all out.  
the world stopped turning for awhile.
