9/11

we have changed alot. families have been impacted more than i could know because i do not personally know anybody who passed or had a family member that pased on 9/11 01. airport secuirty has drastically changed. patriot acts have been passed. we have gone to war for 5 or 6 years i dont know which. but it has been a hot second.

i felt very sad for all those people who lost their lives and their family members who lost people in the world trad centers and the pentagon. i watched a movie called flight 193 or something where the passengers made sure that the plane wouldnt hit somewhere drastic. i am proud that all those people helped saved other people. they risked their lives and that was very very brave of them.


i learned about early photography and all the things you can do at the intro to multimedia website
