What 9/11 means to me...

       9/11 was a big day. It was my senior year of high school, 1st period Government class. I had NO idea what was going on and I had NO idea how it would change me. It didn't really change me until this year. Don't get me wrong, I was sad for the families who had lost someone but it didn't REALLY hit me until this year. Why? I have children. For me having children has really changed my outlook on life. Life is precious. Life is short. Life can change in a second. I now understand why my parents loved and held me so close.
