September, what a month you've been.
This month literally began with college. I had signed up for the wonderful University of Phoenix (online of course) and my first day of college was September 1st. This has been one of the reasons why I have not had any free time to post on here. My book of the month that I did was The Blue Nowhere by Jeffrey Deaver. This is quite the exciting thriller that delves into the world of computers. I posted on here a memorial to one of the victims of September 11th since the five year anniversary was this year. And to cap it all off, I had a promotion and have been working full time. Very full time. I hope your month went well. See you next time.

My 9/11 tribute to Sgt. Timothy A. Roy.
We all live our lives one day at a time. Some days are more exciting than others, but rarely do our lives go to any extreme. There's only a select few who can say that their lives are truely more exciting than the rest of us. Sergeant Timothy A. Roy, 36, was one of those people who truely lived his life to the fullest. He was appointed to the NYPD on July 8, 1985, and began his career on the NYPD with a patrol in Neighborhood Stabilization Unit 13. Some say that the number 13 is an unlucky one, but it wasn't for him because he was promoted to sergeant in March 1991. In November 1995, he was assigned to the Traffic Control Division, Bus Unit where he would spend the rest of his career. He also worked in the 68, 71 and 73 Precincts in addition to his duties in the Bus Unit. He was"transitized" almost immediately, even though he was not in with the Transit Unit. On September 11, 2001, he gave his life while saving the lives of others. Even though he was off duty, he rushed in to try and save as many people as he could. Heros are created through their actions and Timothy Roy Sr. was and is definately a hero. We all leave behind loved ones when we die and those that he left was his wife Stacey; their children Brittney, Caitlyn and Timothy Jr; his mother Ida Mae; his sister Linda; and his brothers James, an active firefighter but his brothers Doug and John are both retired firefighters, Gary, a retired Housing police officer, and Kenny. His late father Kenneth was a retired FDNY firefighter. He came from a line of heros and he lived as a hero and he died as a hero. We are all in debt to those who paid with their lives saving others.
