9/11

Prompt: "How my life will be different because of the events of 9/11."

     On this tragic day, thirteen years ago, America changed forever. I do not remember the pain and suffering of that time but I hear the stories and I can understand the changes. America lost its security that day and will never be the same again. Now my generation must live in a country with anxiety. We will always wonder what others are doing or where they come from. It is really upsetting to know that our citizens will have to worry till the end of time. Some say it is for the best, but I really would have loved to see a day when there was little worry.
     In today's world, cameras are one of the biggest topics of our society. It is normal to have cameras on the block or in a mall, watching and judging every person that walks underneath them. These devices are one of the only things that help us sleep at night, knowing that these cameras have one eye open at night.
     Airports may very well be the biggest change America has undergone. Now, the airports trust no one and consider every man, woman, and child a threat. I have grown up with these strict airports and now I very rarely will fly because of these circumstances.

Freedom is not free.

To everyone involved with 9/11, the firefighters and everyone who lost their lives including those families, God Bless. And NEVER forget 9/11.
