In second grade, I don't remember a whole lot. The teachers and principal announced what had happened to the kids, but it was difficult for any of us to fully understand. When I got home my parents were watching the news, and still, I didn't understand what the big deal was. However, over the years I've grown to have much sympathy towards everyone involved in that tragic day. Once I had watched documentaries of people inside the towers, during the attack, I developed a greater sense of understanding. Almost 3,000 deaths is a number, but when you hear names and personal stories, the event affected us all. This event made America grow stronger as a country. Everybody mourned together, and at that moment we all wanted the same thing.

I remember getting up and going into the family room/kitchen area for breakfast like I normally do and my mom was watching the news as usual but then realized that something was wrong. My mom was in shock and upset, although we didn't have any ties with anyone involved it was still very saddening and I give all my sympathy to those who did have ties. It's horrible that so many (but any at all really) people lost there lives, and those who tried to save lives should have great appreciation to, I don't think they get enough credit sometimes although in this case i'm sure many people were thinking of them as well, as they put their lives on the line to save the others. I think this day will be remembered by me and many others forever, it's truly an unforgettable event.  ...More

On that day, I remember going to the living room after I was done getting ready for school. My mom was standing in front of the TV with her hand covering her mouth as she was watching the morning news. I watched the news with her, but I didn't understand what was happening. Well, I understood that a very important event had happened in New York, and that it was very critical. But I didn't understand why my mom was so upset. I thought, "We don't know anyone in New York... so why is she crying?" I realize now that I was a very ignorant and indifferent child that day.
Now that I've learned more about it, I feel extremely horrible and sad that such a thing happened. We never expected it and so many lives were lost. Over 2,000 regular people with regular lives were murdered that day. I will never forget that day, and I doubt anyone else who witnessed or experienced it will either.
