9/11


I was only 5 years old when 9/11 happened, so I don’t remember very much of it. Everything I've learned has come from others telling me about the tragedies that took place that day. It is truly sad knowing that someone would be willing to take their own lives along with countless others just to show that we aren't as invincible as we think we are. By crashing into those towers, it destroyed so many families, sometimes I wonder what it would've been like if it was mine. Our response was not much better though. Why enter a war when we know that we can’t win? Terrorists are always going to be around, no matter how hard we try. Also from what I remember, we weren't even hunting the right group of people. And I also believe that this was the main reason why we stereotype all people of the Muslim religion? One of my best friends is Muslim, and he’s one of the nicest people I know. That day will mark a place in our hearts and minds forever, as one of the most tragic experiences in U.S. history.
