I wrote this piece after 9/11 this past year. In English class we listened to numerous songs and watched multiple videos about the events that occurred and I realized that I was clueless of the severity of what happened. I understood that terrorists had made the plane fly into the Twin Towers and that they fell over and many people were killed. But not until that class period I never understood the true amount of tragedy and devastation that occurred. Some of the videos brought a knot so tight in my throat, and tears so sour.. I was partially ashamed of my ignorance on what happened that day. Some may understand, like I did, but in small town Iowa, an elementary student, you may not have realized. So please. Youtube 9/11. brush up on what happened. And give the day and celebrations the respect they deserve.
