My life has changed not because I knew someone who lost someone or because I personally lost a family member or friend, but because I was alive when it happened and felt the same effects that everyone else in America felt. I still remember watching the second plane hit the twin towers and minutes later the tower just collapsing on itself; the fear I felt that maybe they might come and attack the school. Being in fourth grade I really didn't understand all that I do now- but my life will always have the events of that day as being one of the pinnacle moments in my life. Randomly my friends and I will talk about what we remember of where we were or what we were doing on that day and its amazing how clear the memory is, not of the day before and not even really the day after, but on 9/11/01 its crystal clear.

I will do the same as I always do, a thought and prayer for those affected, remembering the events and all those who lives were lost. The memory of the events that happened on 9/11 will always stick with me because of how they affected the United States and its hard to believe that it has been ten years since it happened.
