My life changed because honestly the world around me became more scary. I was 10 years old when September 11, 2001 took place, and during my childhood I assumed that America was a very safe place. I was too young to fully understand what was really happening, but I did understand that something powerful and completely tragic had taken place, and that things were going to be a lot different from then on. Up until that day in my life, I had not experienced war or violence in America, and now I am always reminded of the attacks on September 11, 2001. It is something that should never be underestimated or forgotten.

I plan to pray for the safety to the people of our nation and for safety of all people in the countries of the world, and to also ask God to provide peace, strength and courage to all of the families who have lost loved ones during September 11, 2011.
