Good Day Rochester!

I hope you’re having an amazing day. Yesterday was 9/11 and it always brings me back to being 14 in class in Brooklyn, NY, hearing the planes fly overhead, seeing the twin towers, and then not seeing them and knowing that so many people would be hurting for a long long time. I hurt for a long time. And if I’m honest I still have not been to the 9/11 memorial. I know I’ll never forget and will forever be grateful to the first responders and our fellow neighbors who came together.
