On that Tuesday as I walked into my second hour spanish class in Jenks High School in Oklahoma the first thing I can remember was scrambling to my backpack to cram for a vocabulary quiz that day. As I was caught up in my studying I was rudely interupted by a fellow classmate who ran into our class and turned the television on. As we all sat there awestruck by what we were witnessing the first thing that came to my mind was how many more attacks are there going to be and when will they stop. We never had that vocabulary quiz in spanish that day, I think we all realized at that moment the more important issues in life and how much of this world we take for granted.

My life has changed since the events of September 11th in many ways. First of all I grieve for all the families of victims or for those families of workers distraught by the events of September 11th. It makes me cringe everytime I think of a young child without any family alive, and for those children alone, my life has changed.

The one thing that should be most remembered about September 11th is the bravery of all Americans in the fight for our country. Not one certain group deserves more accolades than any other, for we all took the blow of the terrorist attacks as one, therefore the citizens of the United States of America deserve to be remembered above any other from September the eleventh.
