Fear was ignited. I was only in second grade but, I remember the day. My parents would not tell me what happened or who did it. All I remember is feeling confused and scared that since we live so close to the city that we could be in danger. My life has changed little, because I have grown up during the Age of Terrorism, the Age of Fear, and the Age of unwanted War. So when asked, "How has my life changed because of what hapened on September 11, 2001", I cannot say much has changed because it has never not affected me. We were taught in school to always say the pledge and that has never stoped, I do what I know is patriotic and I do love my country.

I will watch the shows on televison and have a silent moment of prayer. But, as for going to the memorial sight, that is simply not possible. And as for the fact that I had not lost anyone, I feel I would feel disrespectfull to show my face in a crowd next to morning mothers, fathers, children, fiances and relatives. Everyone will comemerate the unforgetable day on their own terms, and for me, I will do what I think is respectfull.

A moment please for the heroes, fighters, innocent and lost.
