Remembering 9/11
I remembered waking up to the radio alarm informing the listeners of the attack on the World Trade Center by terrorists. When I arrived at work, everyone was talking about it. I remember speaking to a social studies teacher who woke up early and recorded the scene. Her lesson plan changed that day as a result of the attack. September 11, 2001 was a day when both students and teacher’s attention was on the World Trade Center. It was later that morning when I was able to watch the video of the attack which brought tears to my eyes. One of the greatest impact this world ever experienced occurred that day.

That was quite a task set before teachers the next day. We're expected to be able to explain things but how can you make sense of something like that?
