My eyes have been opened. I always thought that our country, the United States of America, was invincible. That day last year was one where my usually sleepy, tired eyes were glued to the television set, above Mrs. Harlin's world cultures class, in awe. I thought to myself if that could happen, what's next. The next few days following September 11th I was completely paranoid. Even though the little farming community of Northwestern was hardly even a considerable target it didn't matter to me. Now a year later I am glad that our country is moving on. We have seen the effects and don't want them to happen again. So America is going to keep their eyes wide open from now on .
