Today marks the ninth year since the events of 9/11, as well as the other terrorist attacks on American soil. Thousands of lives were lost that day, as well as important structures such as the World Trade Center and the Twin Towers. Now, I know many of you were infants at this time, and others might be ignorant to the fact that this is very much so a big deal to me, as well as a few others. This happened on one of my first days of Fourth grade, when I was 9. And I remember the day fully.

Anyways, if anyone can remember back almost a decade around this time, what were you doing on September 11th, 2001? I was at School working on a math paper, came home like a normal day, walked home by myself, day seemed normal. Walked into my front door and my sisters (now ex)boyfriend was laying on our Couch looking depressed. I asked him what was wrong and he said "Look...", and we watched as the planes flew into the buildings and as many people were running away frantically. The entire day was filled with silence in our household.

Rest in Peace, those who fell on the day of September 11th, 2001. We will always miss you.
