How has your life changed because of what happened on September 11, 2001?

My life has changed because of September 11th in many ways. I have learned to appreciate the people in my life and to not take anyone I love or the life that I have for granted. I learned that I am blessed to live in a free country like America, and after September 11th I really learned how United we are as Americans and the love and pride we have for our country. On the contrary, because of September 11th I now view the world as a place that is easily vulnerable to danger and violence. As a child before the September 11th attacks I saw my world as a happy place and peaceful, and such violent occurances were not present in my immediate life. After September 11th I learned the truth about the world, and that not everything is what it seems to be. I learned that my life before would now be a lot different, and I would have to look at the world in a new perspective.

How will you remember the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks?

I remembered September 11th on the 10 year anniversary by praying for the families who had lost loved ones.
