It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since 9/11. When it happened, I was only six years old, so I honestly didn’t understand what was going on. I remember getting on the bus and going to school like it was a completely normal day. I remember hearing the news on the radio in the classroom and hearing other students talking, but I was so young that I didn’t really understand what the attack meant or how serious it was. I don’t even remember exactly how the other students reacted. At six years old, a lot of it just went over my head. My dad still went to work that day, and the bus driver had to stay away from the Century City Towers because of concerns about a possible plane crash. Thankfully, my family and I were okay. It wasn’t until I got older that I really started to understand what had happened. In junior high, I remember moments of silence and learning more about the people who were lost. As I grew up, I came to recognize why remembering 9/11 matters—not just because of the history, but because of the nearly 3,000 lives that were lost and all the families and communities affected. I was six years old. I didn’t know what I was witnessing at the time, and I think that’s okay. But 25 years later, I understand. I remember. ❤️
