september 11, 2001 changed my life as i know it. it was gonna be my first day of work for pizza hut delivering pizzas. i had just woke up, and showered, getting ready for work, when i turned on the t.v. and saw the pentigon on fire. i asked my step mom what had happend, and she said that terrorists were attacking us. then the news went to the twin towers, after watching for about a half an hour, i saw the first tower fall. i just could not belive what i saw, i thought of all the people that were in there, and just started to cry. i headed to work, and all day i delivered pizzas, and listend to the news reports on the radio about the attacks. i was just dubfounded at what had happend. a few days went by, and i just felt my patriotism explode. i had an old ford truck, and i went out and bought a full size flag, and flew it with pride in the back of my truck for 2 months. to see the pride of people, on the proud looks i got as i drove my truck, i know that america had changed forever. before the attacks, i was wanting to be a law enforcment officer, for the glory. but now, i am humble, and i am wanting to go in to the career to help save people from the evil that lurks through out our nation.
