About me:	I was one of the very fortunate ones to survive that terrible day. I did make it to the window and was ready to jump,the first ladders did not reach our window,forcing some of the students to jump because of the thick black smoke pouring out the windows. I was finally pulled down by a fireman. Twenty five of my classmates did not make it out. This was such a very sad sad day for me. God bless all those who could not be with us today.
