Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of September Eleventh.  The week leading up to the anniversary was filled with notices and emails announcing various memorial events.  I chose to attend the Queens College memorial that took place in the Patio room adjacent to the cafeteria.  I though it important to attend the service at the institution I will be spending so much time at during the next few years.  The event was phenomenal.  We heard many different speakers from Queens College, an acapella performance and afterword had a group discussion about the audiences feelings towards the day.  The speakers read touching poetry about the day and letters written to the deceased.  The acapella performance was a mash-up of songs pertaining to New York City.  The song connected to people of all ages because it performed songs from generations. People spoke eloquently and candidly about their inner emotions that translated into an impressive service.  I am proud to be attending such a fine college.
