On September 11, 2001 I was in 3rd Grade at Iberville Elementary. I was 8 years old. At around 10:45 I got checked out of school and on my way home my mom and dad was telling me what had happened. On that same day about 9:45 my mom recived a call from her aunt saying that our cousin had died in The Twin Towers. We cried and cried until a couple of hours later we recived another call saying that her baby was also found dead. She had took her baby there with her and they both died. Well I was very devasted. I wondered how could someone want to do that to our country. As I grew older I still wondered that same thing. Well about 3 years later I was older so my mom and dad could explain to me. They told me it was because we are a rich country and other things also. Well after they told me that I just wanted to cry again because my cousin and I were so close and to know that her 8 week old baby died and they didn't have nothing to do with it. I miss them and always will. But I dislike the people who took my cousin and her baby away from me and my family. How could they live with theirselves just knowing that so many lives were taken away.
