    I got my first bright pink bike! That started my obsession with the color pink!! Also a tragic event occured that year...9/11. I remeber my school turning on the hall tvs and watching the palnes fly into the twin towers. My teachers were freaking out and the school was getting a million phone calls. My mom wanted to pull me out, but the school said it would be safer to keep the kids there.
