September 11 Memorial

Since september 11 everyone's life has changed and everyone now looks at the world differently. This really makes me sad and see that theres a lot of violence in the world. This was so catastrophic especially when I saw people jump off the buildings. I still remember I was in 5th grade and I went home and we were watching it, luckily none of my family and friends were there, but it still made me sad to see this. I hope that nothing like this will ever happen again.
