1 OCTOBER 2001: Five 1 people are killed and rememhemg the TENTH ANNIVERSARY Years have passed but the memories of September 11 still remain and affect lives September 11,2001 started off as a beautiful, late summer day. The sky was clear and blue. It seemed like any other day with students in their c1assrooms,teachers at their chalkboards and executives in their offices. Everyone thought his or her day would unfold as expected - work or school, and then home for dinner with the rest of the family. Plans changed, however, as the unexpected attacks on the United States turned this otherwise ordinary day into a day of shock and horror. The events of Sept. 11, 2001 changed the world. It harshly revealed the evils that the human race was capable of, and we are all still trying to cope. 2,819 people from 115 different countries died because of the acts of terrorism, according to New York Magazine. On the tenth anniversary of 9111, Student Government hosted a candle light Vigil on the Rock to remember the lives that were lost. Students braved the muggy Miami heat at dusk to tell their stories and recall their whereabouts ten years ago. 11My teacher just dropped to her knees sobbing, junior Jen Mindell said. llNone of us knew what was going on. It was fifth grade, and we had just gotten our math books out? Senior and SGA President Brandon Mitchell recalled the confusion he felt as the day unfolded. llWe looked to our parents and teachers to be reassured that all would be okay? Mitchell said. Junior Julia Tornaro lived in New Jersey at the time of the attacks. She feltjust as troubled by the event. 11We were obviously much closer to it than anyone who grew up in the southeast but we were just as clueless? Tomaro said. 111 just remember an , OCTOBER 7, 2001: The my neighbor coming home covered in ashf, Firefighters from Miami and Coral Gables who were sent to ground zero as responders and rescue workers also spoke of their memories at the vigil. They gave the crowd a different perspective in admitting that fire rescue teams trained in dealing with disaster were not numb observers of the events ofSept. 11, 2001. They, too, felt that it was a harrowing experience and were able to identify with the emotions of students. 1It was a quiet ride homeflJaCk Swerdloff, a second-generation firefighter, said at the Vigil of his departure from ground zero. In a moment of silence accompanied by a light Violin concerto, students held candles that burned to light up the dark night sky. Everyone took the time to honor loved ones and heroes who died on 9111. 1ll knew too many people who didnt come home? senior Sophia Peixoto, from Westchester, N.Y., said. The close of the ceremony marked a night of solidarity and remembrance that was filled with shared experience. Various backgrounds lent different vantage points as students reflected on the impact 9111 had in shaping their generation of international thinkers, global news followers and wary airplane travelers. Whether they were from New York or Hawaii, or outside of the United States, students experienced the day through what President Donna E. Shalala called a ucommon humanity? Freshman William Krinickas, an Army ROTC member from Colombia said, ilNow that llm old enough to understand, llm angry. Ilm still angry, and it's one of the reasons I serve today. By Sandra M.
