Reflection

Hello All,

Ten years ago today, America changed. Our lives would change forever. Do you remember what you were doing that day? I can remember being here at work in the Physical Activities Center and we were all glued to the tv as soon as we heard what happened. I saw students being whisked out of classes, not knowing why they were being taken out of class but then realizing how in a moment their life was about to change. I believed it changed all of us that day. We can't sugarcoat what happened that day but what we can do every day is live how we lived Sept. 12, the day after. We saw people helping each other, we saw people comforting each other, we saw compassion. We didn't see differences, we didn't see discriminations of any kind. We saw how fragile life is and how it can be taken away from you in an instant. We saw what the word hero truly means. We saw Mary Baldwin College coming together. We saw America coming together. Today and every day make sure you live with no regrets, reach out to someone and make a difference, tell people you love them. For everything bad that happens, something good does come out of it. May we never forget what happened!
