September 11

It's been eight years since September 11, 2001. This date changed a lot of people's lives. It changed the United States and it changed the world.

I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I was sleeping and my father knocked on my door and told me to turn on the TV. I couldn't believe what was happening.

I kept asking myself, why did this happen? Why is there so much hatred in this world?

Every September 11 will be a day to remember. My prayers to all the victims, and the families who lost a loved one on this day.
