September 11th, 2001: 10 years ago, ever so present.
So its officially September 12th, but unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last two weeks you would know that yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Everybody has their place. For me, it was my fifth grade English class at THA. I remember it so vividly. We were having class like a normal class day, when Mrs. Tiller, the elementary principal, came in and whispered something into Mrs. Lesesne's ear. I can still see the look on my teacher's face. It was a look of confusion and insecurity. Being the little kids we were, we all asked what was going on. Mrs. Lesesne wasn't going to tell us, but after us nagging her, she gave in and told us that America had been attacked. Thats my place on September 11th, 2001, a memory forever ingrained into my mind. Being a elementary student, I couldn't grasp what had actually happened. Over the years, an understanding has come to me about what happened and how it forever affected the USA....
