“No! No! No!Nooooooooooo!!!!” Splash!Gurgerlerg!! That was the heroic sound I made while conquering my fear. Laying on the worn down leather couch, I wrapped myself up in blankets. It was around 7:30 p.m. and I was ready to have FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT. It was my Dad’s turn to choose the movie. “We’re going to watch JAWS after we watch an episode of Shark Week” My dad said in his Dad way. Being 8 at the time I had no idea what JAWS was, but I knew it was an old movie since my Dad got to see it as a…

It was a dark, gloomy morning on September 11, 2001 in New York City, New York. Opening up my sky blue polka dotted curtains there was no sun shining in, but there was the beautiful view of the Twin Towers standing nice and high in the sky.
