Item 96942

How has my life changed because of 9/11? Internally I was scared; the images still give me goose bumps. I try to go out of my way to make friends or rather get to know those associated with 9/11, the Muslims, as I feel that getting to know the person rather than the extremist or radicals calms my nerves. In effect 9/11 has given me the courage to talk and expand my social networks.

I will remember waking up that morning. Because of the time difference, the coverage interrupted my morning television n cartoons. I will remember waking up and being confused at the images that I was watching.
