September 11th Attacks
I remember coming out of class and seeing utter chaos. Not knowing the cause I was confused and scared. When I got home, I watched the news with my parents and heard what had happened. I remember feeling every single emotion you can think of all at the same time. It was the first time anything had affected me in such a big way. -
Growth Spurt
When I turned ten, I really started to grow physically. I was always one of the taller kids in my grade. -
