Day 9 - 9/11

So today is the day that changed America seven years ago.

I debated wheather to address this in the blog, but I suddenly have this strange sense in me.

I still, like many, remember exactly where I was that day. I was in a brand new school - I had just come into 9th grade at Island Trees High School. I believe I was in biology class that year - and there was news on the loudspeaker that something had happened.

I was dumb - and maybe didn't understand right away. Well, soon enough I found out and I was glued to the TV right after. There were many conspiricies and other rumors and I followed tons of them.

I may have not (directly) lost someone in the attacks, but many friends had family members - some uncles, cousins, and some even lost their parents.

It was a scary time for me - being 15 and witnessing one of the largest attacks on a country. I am finally becoming more polical-savvy and really understand what everything was about and what direction the country took since then.

It's amazing to see how the Bush administration had covered up so much from that day, and attempted to ease Americans into making them feel safe. This coming election is going to be something super-important for all of us. The fate of the country depends on it.

God bless all those who lost someone in the attacks, overseas, or because of the attacks (those who caught sicknesses at the site count).

And hopefully, one day, America will become safe again.
