I was working at Sears in the warehouse. Had just graduated high school. My roomate woke me up and we watched everything for a few hours before I went to work. The next day my roomate decides he wants to be a fireman, I had nothing else going on in life, so tagged along. We enrolled in an emt-basic class. I eventually went on to become a paramedic and then nurse and now am in PA school. Hes a financial consultant. So for me atleast, 9/11 has shaped my life.
