Well 10 years ago - I was sitting in Advanced Algebra class enjoying myself thinking nothing of it - and Principal Harris's face came upon the TV stating that there was a huge accident that happened in New York City. Ha - why should I care, since I was in Michigan very far from NY. Well the next day, all over the news - this tragic accident was still being broadcasted. What really happened? What did this mean? Well at 15 years old, I didn't understand a lot of politics (still don't get a lot of them at 25) however, it finally clicked that there was a very bad group of people who very badly wanted to hurt Americans and try to make the world fall apart (basically in my 15 year old mind). Did we ever think 10 years ago how much this would change our LIFE? Needless to say, I'm sure that this attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11/01 was the worst thing to ever happen and has definitive caused a lot of drama over the past 10 years. The economy has been up and down the stock market aswell, and American troops have been in the middle east now for about 8 years fighting over what? Well this is my version of what September 11th really means and I'm sure to others it means a lot more. Its sure changed the ways of the American life and thoughts and makes me so proud to say that I'm AMERICAN and I'm from the best country in the world.
Let freedom Ring!
