Item 96907

How has your life changed because of what happened on september 11, 2001?

I was in 3rd grade when my class and I were informed of the the event. I did not know what to do or how to act, I had no idea what was going on. Our teacher informed us that the Twin towers had been attacked, and America was under attack by terrorist. a word I have never heard of in my life at the time. I was confused.
