I thought that I could see the light from the roof of my house, but I couldn’t see it because of the buildings around. I walked toward the river and still, another building blocked the light. So I said to myself “that’s it, I’m going to downtown.” When I got to Ground Zero, I thought I was screwed. I didn’t see any light illuminating from the site. I looked around and I saw many people taking pictures. It turns out the light didn’t come from the memorial site, but instead a few blocks away. As you can see I took this picture at 11:33pm. I felt exhausted but after looking at the light, I think to myself that this is nothing compared to all the first responders who risk their lives and keep continuing even though they were exhausted.
