Well today marks a special day for me, it is the day way back in 2001 that my whole way of seeing the world was transformed. I had just finished my first term of service with the Army. I had been accepted into a really career-driven college that focused on designing and creating video games (Digipen Institute of Technology). I was super happy and thought nothing could change that. I was in Art Appreciation class and the professor came into the classroom saying that class was going to be canceled because of the tragedy that had happened in New York. I didn't know what he was talking about until I saw the image of the twin towers smoking on the television news. In the classes the days before the professor was teaching us about the Golden Ratio, so I was excited to know more. When he told us that day about the twin towers, we were all in shock. I was still in the Army National Guard and so I was worried about being deployed again overseas. So in honor of all those who tragically lost their lives on 9/11, instead of focusing on the negative aspects of life, let us focus on the positive sides of life. Let us admire the perfect symmetry in all of God's creations. We are only on this Earth for a limited time. Smile more than you frown as Michael Turner, the artist would always say.
