On September 11th,my eyes were opened to how easily the whole world can be changed,and how often people take things for granted. People you would never see together came united all for the same reason to mourn the same thing; a tragic loss for the entire nation. We could all understand each others feelings, no matter what religion, race, or social status. When I first saw the Twin Towers, on fire and smoking like something out of a movie, it reminded me that something so strong and massive as those buildings could be easily taken away and destroyed. September 11th is purely a opportunity for Americans to let go of meaningless deffects in our society and to unite and stand together for what all our ancestors came here for: peace,freedom, and justice for all.
