I remember the day of September 11th. I was in the fourth grade at the time when it happened. I didn't know what the World Trade Center was and where they were located in New York City. I just couldn't understood what happened. I didn't feel anything except confused when my teacher told us the news that morning.

Then that night, I turned on the news and watched the horrors on the television. I felt something sad and terrible has happened as I watched my parents cry. As the news settled in, and the repeats of planes exploding into buildings, on the third night, I finanlly understood. I cried so hard as my mother cradled me. Thinking about all these people who perished in the flames and crushed by steel. I told my mom that I wished that Superman or the Green Lantern could have saved everyone. And then I thought,

"Why would somebody want to do this to us?"

From then on, I realized that the world is much bigger and scarier than I imangined. There are people who are evil in this world and want to destroy the United States of America. There are terrorists who want to anialate us from exsistence.

Oh how naïve we were...including myself.

After the attacks on September 11th, I felt very different. I felt strong and determined. And I saw that it just wasn't me, it was everyone in America. Everyone was filled with hope, and every citizen here in the states were all together as one. It didn't matter what political party you were in or social class, we were all United.

Sometimes the unthinkable can happen. But we've been all knocked down before. In times of tragedy, human compassion will survive. ....I think that's what makes us so Great.

We Will Never Forget. -9/11/01-
