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

September 11, 2001 I was in kindergarten and I was too young to understand the concept of evil. I remember getting picked up early from school and my grandma was home watching the tv and crying. I have never seen my grandma cry before I knew something happened. She was the happiest person in the world and seeing her like this struck me. As she would try to explain what happened to me with the help of my mother I finally understood what happened, but i would never understand what drove them to do that. As it turned out my grandma worked for the government and her friend was in the pentagon that day. After this day everything changed security and the way of most peoples life. It was as if noone trusted each other. Ever since that day I became aware of the wicked, evil, and vicious things people are capable of. A 4 year old knew there was evil in the world. That is too young if you ask most people. Thats how it changed my life and most of the entire country.

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

I will always remember this day by all the stories people tell, and watching the documentaries on the history channel. This day will always be remembered and mourned by all the loved ones of those that lost their life to this horibble tragedy.
