Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My name is Katherine and i am 18 years old. I am at University in Melbourne, Australia and as one of my subjects i am doing american history. I am currently doing an essay on 9/11 and i am overwhelmed by the courage and strength of the american people whom have been through such heart break in recent years. At the time of 9/11 i was on a sporting tour in England and had just come home from visiting the tourist attractions. I walked in the front door to see my friends gobsmacked infron of the television. I asked them what they were watching and they turned to me, tears welled up in their eyes and said "its america, the terrorist attacks". I could not believe it, it was all to much, never could i comprehend the visuals on the tv were real. From that point on, i felt a connection to the attacks and wondered why it happened and how people could do this to the human race. Even now, looking back on what others have said about the attacks i find myself still amazed by the strength and courage of the american people. I hope for each and every one of you that your plight to find peace and security wheather it be within yourself, family, government or country, is successful and that you may one day, in the not so distant future, look back on this fragment in time and remember that it has made you stronger. In my studies of american history i have come to learn that america is a strong country, bound not only by a stength for patriotism but also a love of all that is just and fair. i wish you all hope and strength, and pray that you may all one day, feel at one and at peace with the mayhem that was bestowed onto your country.
