Rembering 9/11

September eleventh two thousand one. I would be willing to bet that anyone who hears that would know exactly what I'm talking about. Children learn about it in school, and we remember it all the time. Nine eleven was a scary day for me. I was in the first grade and had no clue what was going on. My daddy came to the school and picked me up, telling me that something bad had happened when I asked him why. Then we got home and I remember that my daddy was watching it on the news... Only later did i find out that it was not a movie he was watching, but real footage. I sometimes find it hard to imagine that one day could change the lives of all of America forever. Airport security is tighter, school security is tighter, you cant buy certain things in huge amounts. I sometimes wonder why and how someone could hate us that much? I don't always understand. Then President Bush declared war, and some Americans thought that was the wrong idea. I, however, find it to be the right idea. What if we had sat back and done nothing? I bet worse things would have happened. But, ten years later, we are slowly but surly getting back on track, and I fully believe that everything will all be okay.
