Hang's Look Back

Eight years ago we all experienced something that changed history forever. We all watched the Twin Towers come crashing down, and then later watched the effects it had on the country. 

I still remember the moment I found out about the attack. I was in Zero period, and working on speech for OCAD (Orange County Academic Decathlon). I remember the moment I knew what had happened. I remember what I was thinking. I remember who I was talking to.

My heart and prayers still goes out to the families, friends, and anyone that was effected by that day.

Even though it has been awhile, I still feel like it was just yesterday, a few months ago, or even last years. It doesn't seem that long ago, but then I think about myself back then, and realize how much has change or hasn't changed.

Eight years ago...

1. I was 15. (I feel so old now.)
2. I was still in high school, and couldn't drive.
3. Frances was and is still my best friend.
4. I ate meat. (I was eating meat last year too.)
5. I didn't know what Facebook was, and had 56K internet. Remember dial up? Yeah, I like to forget it too.
6. I discovered a love for romance novels.
7. I thought N'Sync and Backstreet Boys were the greatest bands ever.
8. I thought the mall was the coolest place to hang out.
9. I watched Gilmore Girls religiously.
10. I thought I would be happily married at 24.  (Wow, what on Earth was I thinking?! I'm almost 24, and I still act like my 15 year old self.)

I wonder where I will be in another eight years...
