I was in my 5th grade classroom when the September 11th attack happened. I remember wondering why my teacher was crying and why all the adults seemed to be so frantic. Our teachers were not allowed to tell us what happened because they didn’t want to scare us. When I got home my mom was watching the news (which she never does) and I saw a burning building on TV. I asked my mom what the big deal was, it was just another fire, it happens all the time. It wasn’t until years later when I would fully understand what that burning building meant to our country and how America changed forever that day.
