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

My life has changed because I realize how blessed I am that I was safe during those attacks as well as all the people I love.

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

I will always remember the attacks on September 11, and all the people who died in the towers and who went in to save people.

I asked my mother some questions regarding the September 11 attacks. At the time of the attacks she was at work. Her reaction when she heard the news she was shocked and confused about what was happening. At first she thought it was an accident because she was at work and couldn’t watch the news. Once she realized it was a terrorist attack she was scared and wondered how far this was going to go and when it would stop. She believes that the terrorist were evil and brain washed and it’s sad that they think they what they did was noble. She remembers the area being in a state of panic and disbelief. What she thinks came out of the 9/11 attacks was that in drew us as Americans closer and is much different now, we are safer. She remembers that her nephew was stuck in Dulles Airport in D.C. and was worried. She thought the media was good for some reasons but bad for others because it was good for everyone to know what was happening but a little insensitive with how many times they showed the towers being hit. To prevent this from happening again she said we can elect strong leaders who are tough on any kind of attack on America, but America as a nation needs to get back to what were founded on- Christian principles. She says if we want God’s blessings, we can’t keep turning our backs on Him.
