September 11

September 11th Have you ever been through a war, or experienced anything like it? How did you feel? Where were you? Who were you with? For me, September 11th was the first huge tragedy or war I have ever been through. Being only 15 years old, I have never experienced anything like that before. It has changed my in so many ways. The way I look at America, the way I treat my friends and family, …

…to many things I just did not care about before. For example, taking things for granted, like living in America. We are so lucky to be Americans and most of us never think about that. The biggest thing that has changed me is appreciating my family. Now I realize how easily they could be gone in a second. Since September 11th I have tried my best to spend time with them and appreciate them more.
