First and Foremost

Hello everyone,
 I have a lot to write about but today I think it's most important to write about 9/11. I can't believe it's been ten years. I  vividly remember sitting in freshman algebra when the principal announced that the attack had happened. To be honest I didn't know what the World Trade Center was that day until I saw the video. In every class for the rest of the day there was discussion of what this meant for us and for America as a whole. Our country and world has changed a lot since that day. There have been all kinds of stories on TV and in the news about 9/11 today but I wanted to share this one, because I feel like it really puts things into perspective. It's kind of long to put the whole thing in this post so here is the link:

Remembering 9/11: A warrior's unexpected gift to America

It's inspiring isn't it?

I hope you all had a good Sunday and are as thankful as I am for my family, friends, and those service men and women who risk their lives for us everyday. May all those affected by 9/11 find peace.

Yours Truly, Amanda
