Today, 8 years ago was a tragic day. An epic disaster to America and her citizens. I remember my father coming and doing lunch duty and my teacher saying "If you want to take her home now you can." I remember saying, "Daddy I get to go home early why?" Daddy said, "You'll find out soon enough.. It's scary.. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid." I remember being 6 years old watching NBC and seeing these 3 buildins on fire. Two planes had crashed into these massive skyscrapers in NYC. "Daddy is this a movie?" "No. Don't be scared."
Scared. I was not. I was sad. Why would people kill people? Why would this happen. I didn't know what to think and all I knew is that I was just sad for the people that died. That died for someone's sadistic attack on my country. My home. My people.
All that I know to now is to never forget. Never forget. I will not forget that day when we were attacked. It was an awakening and the beginning of a new culture.
